Projects
Stephanie L. Ciosek is a research specialist with over 7 years experience in Drosophila labs and 10 years in biomedical research. She earned her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from The Cooper Union in NYC, and is currently studying for a master’s degree in public health at the University of Pennsylvania.
A member of the Taylor lab for two years, she works on the biochemical characterizations of the AR mutants and the interactions with various components of the cellular machinery. She is also responsible for the fly stocks, the most essential resource in the lab.
Personal Background
Originally hailing from Brooklyn, NY, she now lives in southern New Jersey with her husband, two dogs, and two cats. An avid NY sports fan, she is also a certified SCUBA diver.
