Meet the team.The Adikes lab is powered by the next generation of Scientists and Physicians!
|
Established in 2021The Adikes lab began unpacking boxes in the Fall of 2021, by the Spring of 2022 we were able to successfully maintain C.elegans and started our RNAi based screen during the Summer of 2022.
During the semester we will continue the screen and begin to follow up on promising hits! We celebrate the small victories! |
Our GoalThe Adikes lab trains the next generation of scientific thinkers using a broad range of techniques from large scale RNAi screens to advanced imaging modalities to unravel the mechanisms of cell migration during development.

Our Team
Dr. A began her research career working in the Quintero Lab at Mount Holyoke College, obtained her PhD from UNC Chapel Hill and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stony Brook University. She joined Siena College in the Fall of 2021 and is a Leading Edge New Faculty Fellow. Dr. A is interested in understanding the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics,
from the atomic to organismal level. |

Mishal Razi
Research Assistant - Biology Major Mishal is a junior at Siena College and is pursuing a BS in Biology. Her ultimate goal is to work as a healthcare professional. She has previous research experience using mouse models to examine neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. She's excited to join Dr. Adikes' lab and observe the impacts of depleted genes on sex myoblast migration.

Maria Fitian
Research Assistant - Biochemistry Major Maria is a junior working towards a BS in Biochemistry and a BA in English. Though not exactly certain of what the future holds, she's passionate about science and hopes to continue in the field. Her previous research experience is in physical chemistry, studying f-block metal catalysts, and biochemistry, studying protein structure in the process of autophagy. She's excited to be stepping into the biology field looking at cell migration and the cytoskeleton in the Adikes Lab. |
Rebekkah Clauson
Research Assistant - Data Science Major Bekkah is a sophomore at Siena College and is pursuing a BS in Data Science as well as minors in Biology and Environmental Science. Her ultimate goal is to obtain her PhD in Data Science, but currently she is unsure of what her future plans hold. She’s excited to join Adikes Lab and to further explore the biology field. |
