Post-Doctoral Fellow Jean-Marc Guedon, was born and raised on Guam where he obtained a B.A. (2006) in Biology from the University of Guam. He then pursued a Sc.M. (2009) at Johns Hopkins University investigating the affects of increasing cytoplasmic tag lengths on Influenza M2 protein. From there he moved to the University of Pittsburgh to pursue his Ph.D. (2014) in molecular virology and microbiology investigating chronic Varicella Zoster Virus-induced pain. He recently joined the Mantyh Lab and is involved in investigating the role of nerve sprouting on cancer progression. Outside of lab, Jean-Marc likes to travel, cook, watch TV, and watch the stock market. |

Imaging Specialist Stephane, born in Rochester, MN, graduated from the University of Arizona in 2013 with a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Shortly after joining the Mantyh lab as an undergraduate his senior year, Stephane discovered his passion for microscopy and imaging. Currently, as a member of the imaging team, he uses bright field and confocal microscopy along with radiography to visualize macroscopic and microscopic changes in bone structure and skeletal innervation in malignant and non-malignant models of musculoskeletal skeletal pain. More recently, his research efforts have focused on clarifying the mechanisms that contribute to chronic skeletal pain after tissue injury in the young and aging individual. He aspires to enter the medical field and continue addressing the needs of those affected by this debilitating pain. When he is not working in the lab, Stephane can be found studying Portuguese, pursuing his interest in philosophy, volunteering in a hospice or youth mentorship program, or enjoying the great outdoors. |
