Caroline Antolik

As Technical Assistant in the Alm lab, I help out with various aspects of lab members' projects. My main responsibilities include 16s library prep for Illumina sequencing and training for users on specialized equipment such as our Bioanalyzer and liquid handling robot. I also assist with purchasing, safety training, and general issues around the lab.
Past Life
My research interests in the area of molecular ecology and evolution have taken me far from my hometown in Texas. After completing a BS in biology at Eckerd College in sunny Florida, I moved to southern New Zealand where I received an MSc from the University of Otago.
