Biography
Taylor completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota and her Master's in Biology at the University of Saint Joseph. Before joining the Knauert lab in 2019, Taylor was part of a University of Minnesota lab that focused on the molecular pathways involved in Huntington’s disease. In her spare time, Taylor enjoys distance running, DIY projects, and spending time with her two cats.
