Norah is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. She began her time at Cornell as an undergraduate in the field of Chemical Engineering. She then continued her education in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, earning a PhD in Immunology studying immunoreceptor signaling in mast cells. Upon graduation, she migrated to the College of Veterinary Medicine where postdoctoral research ignited her interest in T cell biology, particularly developmental aspects of CD8+ T cells, also known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). She has over a decade of experience with flow cytometry, with particular interests in high parameter analysis and optimizing sorting for downstream applications. An experimentalist by nature, she loves figuring things out and enjoys the challenges of problem solving.

Jackie received her bachelor’s degree in environmental systems from Cornell University. She worked as a research specialist and lab manager for five years in Dr. Michelle Heck’s laboratory helping to research Citrus Greening disease. She joined the Flow Cytometry Facility in 2019 just after the facility’s expansion, and has been assisting users with training and instrumentation operation.

Amanda has a Bachelor of Agriculture in Plant Pathology and a Masters of Landscape Architecture both from The Ohio State University.  Before joining the Flow Facility, she worked in research and laboratory support at local companies ST Genetics and Transonic Systems, Inc.  As a facility technician, she assists users with training and instrumentation operation.

Mike studied Applied Physics at Cornell. Before joining the Flow Facility, Mike worked as a 
technician and lab manager for Dr. Cheetham's lab at the vet school assisting
with research into regeneration mechanisms associated with peripheral nerve injury.
