Lab Members
Jinglong Wang, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Dr. Wang was trained at the Jacques Monod Institute and École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, under the mentorship of Dr. Terence Strick, and obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Paris in 2019. He dissected the molecular machinery of human and bacterial NHEJ, and interrogated the mechanism of SpCas9 tolerance to non-specific substrate using single-molecule nanomanipulation tools.
Jinglong’s research in the Frock Lab focuses on DSB-related chromosome topological changes and genomic interactions.

Cheyenne Sadeghi, M.S.
Laboratory Technician
Cheyenne is a recent Stanford Graduate and has helped with several projects in the lab relating to V(D)J recombination. He is currently working on a collaborative project to identify translocation patterns of Spo11 DSBs during meiosis.
Carrie Truong
High School Intern
Carrie is analyzing insertion mechanisms of junctions formed from Cas9 DSBs. She is continuing the work started by Darsh and has quickly become an expert on describing the resulting DNA gymnastics.

Paul Barghouth, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Current position: Scientist at Nucleix
Dr. Barghouth received his doctorate degree in Quantitative and Systems Biology in 2019 under the mentorship of Dr. Nestor Oviedo at UC Merced. He focused on pre-cancerous lesions (e.g. DNA damage and epigenetics) that give rise to cancer cell transformation.
Paul’s research in the Frock Lab focuses on understanding the role of DNA damage under novel ultra-high dose-rate FLASH radiotherapy. Furthermore, he is interested in understanding the role of hypoxia on DNA damage and repair choice.
Marie Le Bouteiller, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Dr. Le Bouteiller received her Ph.D. at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France in 2012. Her work focused on the interplay between ribosome biogenesis and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance in mice, under the supervision of Dr. Michel Cohen-Tannoudji. Then she moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, and worked in Dr. Kim Jensen’s lab on the role of intestinal stem cells in tumorigenesis.
Marie’s research focus in the Frock Lab involves elucidating DNA end-joining pathway mechanisms and developing novel bioinformatic pipelines to measure DSB repair fates in G1-phase progenitor B cells.
