Cloe Pogoda
Student Alumni
Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology

Cloe received her BA from CU Boulder in May 2011 with majors in Molecular, CellularÌıand Developmental Biology (MCDB) and Biochemistry, and a minor in Chemistry. She wasÌırostered in the MCDB Department and wasÌıadvised by Dr. Nolan Kane (EBIO). Cloe uses genomic tools to address a variety of ecological and evolutionary questions in a range of biological systems. Specifically, she is interested in the underlying genomic consequences of the obligate lichen symbiosis, and the genetics of domestication in the common sunflower, Helianthus annuus. IQ Biology not only provided important funding, but also provided the training and encouragement necessary for an interdisciplinary PhD project. Because of thisÌıCloe utilizes diverse skills, wet lab work to programming, to accomplish her projects. CloeÌıgraduatedÌıin Summer 2018.
