Dr. Rebecca Adikes, Assistant Professor of Biology, received a subaward from Columbia University for $273,472, the prime sponsor is the National Science Foundation. This is a collaborative project between the Adikes lab at Siena, the Mace lab at Columbia University, and Matthew Parent from the Imaging Innovation Center at the Marine Biological Laboratories. The goal of this research is to understand how cells move through complex environments. The Adikes lab will recruit and train 2-3 undergrad students per academic year. The students will work with live cell imaging of biological samples from sample prep to image acquisition. Students will have the opportunity to present their work at local and national Biology conferences and receive career guidance for post-graduate studies.
