Another New Publication!

We're excited announce that former Postdoctoral Researcher Joshua Puhl and PI Karen Mesce are co-authors on a paper that was just published in PLoS ONE! This study characterizes the transcriptome of our beloved medicinal leech (Hirudo verbana), and is the result of a collaboration led by the Schulz lab at the University of Missouri. Congratulations to Joshua and Karen, as well as their fellow co-authors: Adam Northcutt, Eva Fischer, and David Schulz!
