December 2025: Congrats to Michelle on new role in SUNY Upstate Neuroscience Department

Michelle Lance, who first joined the Tucker lab as a computational biologist back in 2020 (feels like forever ago), has accepted a position in the Neuroscience Department here at Upstate, where she will lead bioinformatics efforts across many groups and projects. Since joining the lab fresh out of her PhD at Cornell University, Michelle has been an absolutely critical member of the group, leading the majority of our single cell analyses while also being an excellent team player when needs ranged from grant preparation, laboratory work, or even COVID-19 testing. She leaves the lab with 7 publications, including those published in Circulation Research, Nature Neuroscience, and Nature Comms. We'll look forward to seeing her build a team over the years in the Neuro department, and thank her for everything over the years. The lab wouldn't be where it is without her.
