After graduating from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Biology, Dr. Hanlon attended the University of California, San Francisco to obtain a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.  Her extensive molecular training in league with her interests in chromosome biology led Dr. Hanlon to pursue the unknown biology of B chromosomes in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster during her postdoctoral studies at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research.  Dr. Hanlon’s work has launched the field of B chromosome biology in D. melanogaster and exposed exciting new directions about how these chromosomes move, form, and evolve.  The Hanlon Lab will continue to explore the B chromosomes using both classic genetic and modern genomic approaches.
