COBRE Leadership

Clarissa Henry

Dr. Henry’s primary goal is to provide the administrative and mentoring frameworks to help the Research Project Leaders obtain NIH RO1 funding. This goal also necessitates providing mentoring and support for Pilot Project Leaders and other Junior PIs who will apply for Research Project Leader positions as they become available. 

Clarissa is passionate about muscle biology, mentoring, her family (which includes her two grown sons, her two Australian Shepherds she obtained -to her husband’s chagrin- because her sons grew up), mountain biking, paddling, and traveling.
