Feehan

Joanna Feehan's scientific career has formed from diverse experiences. She completed a Bachelor's Degree in nursing before a master's degree in cell biology studying retinopathies using Xenopus laevis tadpole models at the University of British Columbia. For her PhD, she joined the lab of Jonathan Jones at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK where she used biochemical approaches to understand signaling mechanisms in plant-pathogen defense responses. As a postdoc here at Carnegie, she is working in the lab of Sue Rhee to understand the mechanisms of extreme heat-adaptation by Tidestromia oblongifolia using population genomics approaches.
