We'd like to welcome Andy Kowalczewski, PhD to the lab as a postdoctoral research fellow. Andy has wide ranging experience from over the years, starting with wet lab work in post bacc employment and shifting to computational biology with a heavy ML/AI focus in his PhD training at Syracuse University in the lab of Dr. Zhen Ma. First order of business for Andy is to take a deep dive into human population genetics research, with a goal of integrating his computational expertise to level up our...

Every summer, the Tucker lab typically welcomes undergraduate researchers looking to learn a bit more about biomedical research, get the experience to help with MD/PhD applications, or just contribute to a lab whose goal is bettering cardiovascular health. They bring great energy and enthusiasm to the lab, which is inspiring and energizing for a bunch of grumpy old hands like the majority of the laboratory. This summer we are happy to welcome four volunteers. First, Andrew Hoehner from...

We'd like to welcome Genyu Wang, PhD to the lab as a newly minted research scientist here in the Tucker Lab at SUNY Upstate. A widely crosstrained scientist from her work both in China and here in the US, Genyu's aim here in the lab will be to serve the role of bridge between computational and laboratory roles. Her first roles will be using her experience with stem cell derived cardiomyocytes in order to understand the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation risk genes using cell biology, molecular...
