Alex joined the lab in 2020.

Michelle joined the lab in 2020 shortly after receiving her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Matthew joined the lab in February 2022 shortly after receiving his Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Penn State University.

In 2022, James received his Ph.D. in Systems, Synthetic, and Physical Biology from Rice University — making him the first student to graduate from the St-Pierre Lab.

Harry is one of the first students to join the lab in 2016. He created an interactive software to display spatial and temporal properties for cell selection in SPOTlight, our single-cell high-throughput screening platform. He also designed a motorized electrode system to induce voltage changes in cells to screen for better GEVIs, which led to the next generation two-photon compatible voltage indicator JEDI-2P. Fun fact: did you know he created the GEVI wikipedia page? 

His expertise in programming, hardware control, and microscopy help us to push the frontier of biosensor engineering, and advanced smart microscopy.

Xiaoyu joined the lab in 2017. She is currently a 5th-year student in the Systems, Synthetic, and Physical Biology (SSPB) Ph.D. Program at Rice University.

Shuyuan joined the lab in 2019. She is currently a 3rd-year graduate student at Rice University.

Anh joined the lab in 2022. He is currently a 1st-year graduate student at Rice University.

Wafa joined the lab in December 2022.
