Rishvanth Prabakar
Rish is a postdoctoral fellow. He studies the interaction between T cells and epithelial cells in the thymus to understand the process of negative selection which helps prevent auto immunity. He was previously trained in molecular and computational biology focusing on single cell genomics at the University of Southern California.

Dominic Pruss
Dominic is an undergraduate researcher in the Meyer Laboratory. He is currently studying at Baylor University in the Science Research Fellows program (Bioinformatics concentration) with a secondary major in biochemistry. In the Meyer lab he studies the role of cell type and tissue on cellular identity to help understand the identity of medullary thymic epithelial cells.
