Former Lab Warriors
Here lie the names of those who braved the feral science, conquered the workflows, and survived the CHAOS Lab gauntlet. They’ve moved on to new adventures and different missions, but their impact still echoes in the data.
Laurhyn Griebel
Former STUDENT RESEARCHER | Current Medical Student
Laurhyn Griebel lives life at full throttle, thriving in the kind of organized chaos that feels right at home in the CHAOS Lab. She’s moved through more jobs, cities, and countries than most people hit in a lifetime, always chasing challenge over comfort. Gymnastics coaching has been her constant anchor—ten years, four gyms, countless athletes—and she’s balanced it alongside medical scribing, travel work, and a schedule that never really slows down.
Originally trained as a middle school math and science teacher, Laurhyn realized she wasn’t built to stay in a box. She pivoted out of education and into healthcare, completing the post-baccalaureate pre-med program at the University of Louisville with support from Laura Hamann and Dr. Rachel Washburn. Her time in CHAOS reinforced her love of research and her refusal to undershoot her own ambition. She now attends the University of Louisville School of Medicine, driven by a fascination with the human body and a commitment to lifelong learning.
Outside the lab and clinic, Laurhyn plays competitive co-ed volleyball, dominates game nights, and unapologetically prefers cruising as the superior mode of travel. She also has one cat, Euri—named with equal parts astronomy and storytelling energy—continuing her tradition of planetary companions.
