Garrett Tishkoff Leach

I have a broad range of research interests across the natural and physical sciences. I have a particular interest in integrating the fields of biological, cognitive and computer sciences. Additionally, I am interested in applied research, i.e. research that can be implemented for real world use. I have worked the past three summers before college in Dr. Beverly Davidson’s lab at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's as a lab assistant. In addition to wet bench work and general lab work, I've also assisted a lab member in her study of the Fragile X Syndrome pre-mutation by rating the behavior of wildtype mice and mice with the pre-mutation. I am not currently working in a research lab, though I am taking a molecular biology lab course for the semester. Outside of Penn academics, I am involved in the Biosphere program.
