Dr. Evans' BioChantell received a B.S. in Chemistry from Southern Illinois University and her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Her graduate thesis investigated Ca2+-regulated exocytosis using biochemistry and biophysics. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania where she used advanced microscopy and biochemical techniques to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms that regulate mitophagy in primary neurons. Chantell is an inaugural recipient of the Hanna Gray Fellowship from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.You can follow her on Twitter @channyskye and find her on LinkedIn as well as Chantell Evans, PhD.Google Scholar I LinkedIn I TwitterLearn more about Dr. Chantall Evans on her lab website https://www.evansresearchlab.com/.If you’re interested in mitochondrial biology, neurodegenerative diseases, and quantitative imaging, the Evans labs is currently hiring postdocs!Other NotesThis interview was hosted by Melyssa Minto and co-hosted by Jenea Adams on the Black Women in Computational Biology Network Executive Board.The music is by Anno Domini Beats from the copyright-safe YouTube music library.The Black Women in Computational Biology Network is a global community of Black women scientists advancing biology through a computational lens. With over 200 members from 4 continents, we increase opportunities for collaboration, professional development, and science communication to change the face of integrative biosciences across the globe. The BlackInCopBio series highlights Black scientists from a variety of professional backgrounds and their stories.
