Matthew "Matt" Chaw (he/him) is a graduate student in the Genome Sciences department at the University of Washington. At Janelia, Matt built tools to visualize spatiotemporal transcriptomics in the developing worm. Later, he characterized the proteomes of extremophile microorganisms inhabiting salt nodules in the Atacama desert. In the Srivatsan Lab, he hopes to use build high-throughput biochemistry and protein design platforms using microfluidics.
