Caroline Haney, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Associate

Uses 3D cellular models and spatial biology to investigate the pain mechanisms of endometriosis.

Caroline Haney received her PhD in Biology from the University of Vermont, where her dissertation investigated the signaling mechanisms of Semaphorin signaling in neural development using zebrafish. During her PhD she gained extensive experience in molecular biology, biochemistry and proteomic techniques. As well as, a deep knowledge of neural guidance factors and neurogenesis. Caroline joined The Jackson Laboratory in March of 2024 as a Postdoctoral Associate under Elise Courtois. She is utilizing her neuroscience background to study pain mechanisms in endometriosis.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and is defined by endometrium-like cells growing outside of the uterus. This is a painful disease and there is currently no known cure. Treatment options are limited to hormonal therapies which can have their own side effects. Therefore, in the Courtois Group, we use single cell biology and spatial 'omics to better define the pathology of endometriosis and improve treatment options for those suffering from endometriosis.
