Bronwyn Butcher
Lab Manager
I provide support and training for many students, visiting scientists, and other researchers who come to the Fuller Evolutionary Biology Laboratory from all over the world to perform molecular work with samples (e.g., blood, tissue, and feathers) collected during their fieldwork. I maintain and manage the molecular laboratory and train lab users in everything from extracting DNA to whole genome sequencing.
I find it fascinating how just four little bases that make up DNA can convey so much information! Until my move to the Cornell Lab, I had spent most of my career studying DNA regulation in bacteria and knew very little about birds. Here at the Cornell Lab I continue to apply my strong molecular background to training others and hoping that they too will learn to appreciate the wonders of the molecular world. Along the way I am learning that birds are pretty cool too.
