Current Lab Personnel

	Tim Evans Principal Investigator evanst@uark.edu Tim received his BS in Biology in 2001 from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. He earned his PhD from Indiana University in 2006 studying wing vein patterning in Drosophila with Joe Duffy. He began his studies on axon guidance in the Drosophila embryonic nervous system as a postdoc in Greg Bashaw's lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Tim joined the faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas as an Assistant Professor in 2013 and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2019.
	Piyasi Ghosh Graduate Student Piyasi joined the lab as a PhD student in the CEMB program in 2021. Her research project focuses on the evolutionary conservation of attractive Netrin-Frazzled signaling in the insect embryonic CNS.
	Ashton Magdich Graduate Student Ashton joined the lab as a PhD student in the BIOL program in 2023. Her research project focuses on the roles of the Drosophila Robo2 axon guidance receptor in embryonic nervous system development.
	Savannah Beaupre Undergraduate Student Savannah joined the lab as an undergraduate student in 2024. Her project examines the evolutionary conservation of Slit-dependent midline repulsion in flies and mammals.
