Senior scientists
Stephanie StranskY
Stephanie is a staff scientist, former first official postdoc of the Sidoli lab! She joined us in September 2019, and she works on developing methods to quantify chromatin states. She is also our leader in the 3D cell biology.
Jennifer T. Aguilan
Jenny is the Operating Director of the Einstein Proteomics Core. She works with us and with Pathology. She is a specialist of mass spectrometry-imaging, but she runs a lot of proteomics experiments as well. She works on the development of multiple assays for patient diagnostics.
Carlos madrid-aliste
Carlos is our bioinformatician, scientific programmer, database expert, system administrator etc. He is always on top of our informatics problems, whichever they are. He has a lot of patience with us, which he developed by packing and carrying percussions everywhere. In fact, Carlos is a percusionist with a non-profit drum and dance company!
Shivangi Pande
Shivangi is a postdoctoral fellow who is studying molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression. She completed her PhD from the University of Maine in 2023, and is excited to learn proteomics and bioinformatic data analysis to obtain deep insights into cancer metastasis and chromatin biology.
Outside of the lab Shivangi likes visiting art exhibits and trying out new foods.
Gabriele Giovanardi
Gabriele will join us soon from the University of Parma (Italy) with the ENRICH grant. He is a postdoc interested in organic chemistry. He will work with us on developing methods to enrich for protein and nucleic acid modifications.
students
Ronald Cutler
Ronnie is a PhD student in the lab that is interested in studying the epigenetic mechanisms of how humans age and factors that grant exceptional longevity. He is being co-mentored with Dr. Jan Vijg. He has graduated from The College of William & Mary with a Bachelors in Biology and Computer Science and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with a Masters in Biotechnology. Ronnie enjoys training for triathlons and playing with his three cats.
Maxwell Horton
Max is a PhD student rotating in the lab. In 2023, he graduated from Hobart College with a bachelors in biochemistry. He is interested in developing techniques for spatial proteomics. Outside of the lab, he enjoys cooking new foods and hiking with friends.
Sarah Graff
Sarah graduated from Yeshiva University in the spring of 2019 with a bachelors in molecular biology and computer science. She has participated in research projects at the Hebrew University School of Pharmacy and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Future author of the Graff graph algorithm.
Giulia Barotti
Giulia is a visitor PhD student who comes from the University of Parma (Italy). She is currently employed in the laboratory of Dr. Barbara Montanini
Nahad Almahrouqi
Nahad Almahrouqi joins the Sidoli Lab as a trainee in proteomics. She is a Biomedical Scientist at the Sultan Qaboos Comprehensive Cancer Care and Research Centre, where she focuses on molecular and proteomic investigations in cancer research. She holds a master’s degree in biology and a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology from Sultan Qaboos University. Her research interests focus on advancing understanding and treatment of solid tumors.
Dejauwne Young
Dejauwne currently finished his PhD, and he is back in Med School. As a PhD student, he worked with our lab and the lab of Dr. Chandan Guha. He graduated in 2017 from the University of Southern California with a BA in Neuroscience. He enjoys exercise, watching sports (NBA and NFL), and going to comedy shows. He is excited to learn how to use mass spectrometry to better understand cancer immunogenicity and chromatin biology. We are looking forward to having him back after he finishes his medical training!
