Cassie is currently a senior at Smith College where she is majoring in biology. She is part of a group study at Smith that is researching forebrain development in zebrafish, specifically investigating the role of slit proteins and their robo receptors in the formation of the post optic commissure. (Zebrafish are a popular model for studying genetics and developmental biology.) Cassie tries to simplify this for us by explaining that basically, she is “looking at attractant and repellant proteins that direct axon growth to cross the brain at a specific location during neural development.” Her senior honors thesis will examine Slit proteins and their role in axon guidance during forebrain development using the zebrafish model system.

I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science (emphasis in Data Science) from Colorado School of Mines and just moved back to Chicago to start working with ION Group as a developer on their trade processing platform!
