Laura Nilson
Biography: 

I am a Professor in the Department of Biology, and also serve as Associate Dean (Graduate Education) in the Faculty of Science.

My research area is the molecular genetics of embryonic development, with a specific focus on understanding how cells in a developing tissue detect their position and adopt the cellular shapes and gene expression profiles necessary for normal tissue structure and function.

I am passionate about science, nature, and education.

Mentorship matters to me because I believe in the value, to both the individual and the institution, of sharing knowledge and experience and building relationships. A mentorship network can help cultivate a supportive and connected community.
