Research Interest:
Jenny joined the Rawls lab in the fall of 2017 and is currently studying how gut microbes regulate transcription factors in the intestinal epithelium.

Personal Interest:
Outside of the lab, Jenny spends time outdoors: running, swimming, hiking, reading, eating, and playing with her dog.
