Jo-anne Holley

Jo-anne Holley leads the Bugs In Bugs undergraduate research lab as part of the FRI. Her research focuses on interactions between host-restricted symbionts and their insect hosts, particularly social bees and wasps, and on the ecological and evolutionary factors that shape these relationships. As a researcher in the Moran Lab, she integrates molecular, microbial, and evolutionary approaches to understand these symbioses in natural systems. Jo also serves as an Education Fellow with the Office of STEM Excellence, where she teaches graduate students and postdoctoral scholars how to effectively mentor undergraduate researchers
