Divya Shiroor, PhD
December 14, 2021 Divya Shiroor, the brave pioneer who was the first student to join the Adler lab in 2016, passed her thesis defense with flying colors, after a very successful and productive PhD! Divya will relocate to San Francisco to work at Loyal, combining her expertise in stem cells with her passion for furries. We can't imagine the lab functioning without her and will miss her dearly. |

Using planarians in the classroom
August 2021 We hosted a workshop for local high school instructors affiliated with the CollegeNow program at Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden. We taught them how to manipulate planarians, administer RNAi, and cut worms. |

Congratulations Kuang-Tse!
July 2021 Graduate student Kuang-Tse Wang passed his A exam and advanced to candidacy! It's wonderful to have in-person exams and especially in-person celebrations again. |

Goodbye Tish!
June 2021 It's the end of an era: Postdoc Tisha Bohr is leaving the lab. We will greatly miss having her insight and experience in the lab, but are very excited to see what she accomplishes at Ovid Research, back in the Bay Area! We celebrated with a goodbye party at the Finger Lakes Cider House. |

Congratulations to Jackie and Lourdes on graduation!
May 2021 Two of our undergraduates – Jackie Han and Lourdes Pajuelo – are graduating this year. While we are devastated to see them go, they are on to bigger and better things: Jackie will be a Clinical Research Coordinator at Mass General Hospital and Lourdes is enrolling in Harvard's PREP program! We are so proud of what you have accomplished here at Cornell, and wish you both the best of luck in your future!!! |

R01 from NIGMS!!!!
October 2020 We reached a major milestone for the lab - being awarded an R01 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences! The lab worked so hard to pull this grant together and we are excited to see where our discoveries about stem cells lead us. We celebrated by going on a gorgeous fall hike at Treman State Park. We even saw each other's faces in person for the first time in many months. |

Welcome to GGD student Kuang-Tse Wang and congrats on (remote) graduation to Allison and Lydia!
June 2020
It's a time of great change in the lab. We are thrilled to welcome Kuang-Tse Wang, a student from the GGD graduate program, to the lab for his thesis research! Two seniors have virtually graduated: Allison Chang, a nutrition major, will go on to pursue a masters in Nutrition here at Cornell (and hopefully we'll see her when she returns to Ithaca for a Masters program!). Lydia Zamidar, a Biological Sciences major, will work as a technician in Brian Kim's laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis! Congratulations to everyone for making progress during these challenging times.
Divya's paper published in Current Biology!!!!
May 2020
Divya Shiroor's paper is available online at Current Biology! This is the first installment of her project, in which she discovers that injury interferes with radiation-induced cell death. She created an amazing video to accompany it, as an explainer, featuring adorable hand-drawn cartoons. This is a very exciting week for the Adler lab!
Tisha's preprint released on BioRxiv
May 2020
Tisha Bohr releases a preprint of her postdoctoral work! In this fantastic paper, she asks whether planarian stem cells can sense the identity of missing organs. Short answer: depending on which organs are removed, stem cells behave differently! This begins to answer the question of how stem cells 'know' what to regenerate.
Kuang-Tse Wang from GGD begins his rotation
March 2020
Welcome to GGD rotation student Kuang-Tse Wang. His rotation, during the COVID-19 shutdown, is bound to be an adventure for all of us.

Hopefully this will be the first of many conferences held at IC.
MBL Neurobiology – Functional Genomics section
July 2019

July 2019
Big week! Divya Shiroor's exciting paper describing a new injury-induced stem cell behavior (sneak peek, stem cells do more than just proliferate in response to injury) is available as a preprint! This is a big moment for the lab too, since it's our first preprint!
Also, Carrie was awarded a grant from the President's Council for Cornell Women! Thank you very much for your support of our work.
