Carrie Adler, PhD - Principal Investigator
Assistant Professor Carrie is originally from Hawaii, and attended college at Wesleyan University. After that, she worked as a technician with Bruce Mayer at Harvard Medical School, studying signal transduction pathways. For graduate school, Carrie enrolled in the Tetrad program at UCSF, joining Cori Bargmann's lab to study neural development in C. elegans. As a postdoc, Carrie trained with Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado at the University of Utah and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. The Adler lab opened its doors at Cornell in Fall 2015. Carrie loves vegetables, skate skiing, and road biking around Ithaca. Email: cea88@cornell.edu Twitter: @carrie_adler |
