Alice Herneisen

Alice completed her Ph.D. in 2023 with Sebastian Lourido at the Whitehead Institute/MIT, where she used proteomics to characterize divergent signaling pathways in the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii. She continued to study the unusual cell biology of parasites as a postdoc with Gira Bhabha and Damian Ekiert at Johns Hopkins University. As a joint postdoc with Dr. Susan Shao, Alice is studying the role of ubiquitination in ciliary protein homeostasis and signaling. Alice is a HHMI-Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Fellow.
