Our team.
Logan Myler (PI)
Logan is an Assistant Professor in Pharmacology and Chemical Biology and a member of the Genome Stability Program at UPMC. He received his PhD with Tanya Paull and Ilya Finkelstein at UT-Austin, where he studied the first steps of DSB repair using single-molecule DNA curtains. He then did postdoc training with Titia de Lange at The Rockefeller University to study how DSB repair proteins are regulated at telomeres. His responsibilities include mentoring, funding the lab, and making sure the environment is inclusive and fun to work in. Logan’s project in the lab involves purifying proteins, generating preliminary data for new projects, and helping others with their experiments.
Jorlane De Jesús Ramírez
Jorlane is a graduate student in the lab as part of the Oncology Graduate Program (OGP). She’s interested in ATR activation and how it’s regulated.
Kylee Mone
Kylee is a graduate student in the Oncology Graduate Program (OGP) that is co-advised with Patty Opresko . She’s interested in telomerase activity and its regulation by the DNA damage response.
Akasha Hannock
Akasha is a technician who works on lab database maintenance, protein expression, protein purification, and new directions for the lab!
Alejandro Oviedo
Alejandro is a postdoc who is focused on the mechanisms of ATM and ATR activation during the DNA damage response. He received his PhD from Emory University in 2026.
