"I am excited to join the Kieft lab as a microbiology graduate student. My current interests involve searching for and identifying homologs of viral xrRNA, or other interesting structural motifs in other microscopic life. I plan on combining computational methods as well as biochemical and molecular techniques address this this question. I am also incredibly eager to dive into the wonderful world of RNA structure and function."

As a former east coast resident, Matt is excited to continue his scientific career in Colorado. His interests outside of lab include copious amounts of crafting, cooking elaborate meals, birds, coffee, and music. His ideal evening: A long walk on the beach with his cats Junipur and Pinion.
