I work in the [[Your Lab]] at XYZ University. I learned about [[OpenWetWare]] from through others, and I've joined because to be able to access info and to have my own page.
I am a post-doctoral research associate in the [[Grossman Lab]] at MIT. Currently, I am studying mechanisms underlying replication control in ''B.subtilis''.
