Abbie joined the Lochmüller lab in 2020 as a Research Technician. She completed her MSc specializing in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Ottawa in 2012. Her research, supervised by Dr. Marc Ekker, analyzed the function of PARP3 in the early development of zebrafish embryos. Abbie then began a career as an Embryologist and Andrologist and during the following eight years she developed her skills within in-vitro fertilization clinics where she also performed research on sperm DNA fragmentation. In addition, she recently contributed to opening a new clinic.
