Joseph obtained his BA in Molecular Biology at Princeton University. His undergraduate thesis, co-advised by the Wieschaus and Wühr laboratories, focused on exploring the applicability of the Arrhenius equation in describing the temperature dependence of animal development. Following this, Joseph pursued a Master's degree in Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah, where he concentrated on the metabolic processes of RPE-1 cells under the mentorship of Bruce Edgar. Currently he is working on optimizing and automating sample preparation for proteomics experiments.
