Lola Holcomb, Ph.D.
Location
Lola Holcomb is a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Eben Estell’s lab, where she combines bone biology, exercise science, and bioinformatics to tackle complex questions in physiology. She brings a diverse background in exercise physiology, gut microbiome research, and computational biology, alongside experience teaching anatomy and physiology, animal physiology, genetics, and bioinformatics. Outside the lab, Lola loves long-distance running, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with friends, family, and animals.
