Tara Willson

Tara Willson is a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati in the Cell and Cancer Biology program. Her research centers on the role of STAT3 in regulating the immune system and intestinal epithelial homeostasis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. She obtained her Bachelors from the University of Kentucky with dual degrees in Biology and Agricultural Biotechnology.

Sandra Wright, MD

Sandra Wright finished her residency in Pediatrics at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is working in the lab until she starts her fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in 2011. Her research project involves determining genetic mutations that could lead to earlier detection of more severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
