Robin Mitchell

I am a PhD student in the Carrillo lab, where I study development and plasticity at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. I am particularly interested in discerning the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which motor neurons compensate for loss of function following injuries or disease. Outside of the lab, I also stay involved in the broader campus community by volunteering and serving on the Graduate Council Health & Wellness Committee. In my free time, I like to play intramural sports, read and compose poetry, and keep up to date on the latest shonen anime.
