​Adam Mermelstein ‘21

I'm from suburban Philadelphia, PA interested in majoring in biology and minoring in history. My scientific interests include  studying how we can develop therapeutics and vaccines against infectious diseases. Outside of the lab, I enjoy swimming, graphic design, and rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles and Sixers!

Emma Parker Miller '22

I am a Biochemistry and Peace & Conflict Studies double major from Wilmington, DE. My current work in the lab involves analyzing how broadly neutralizing antibodies and their cooperating lineages bind to the HIV Env protein. Outside of lab, I am passionate about social and environmental activism, playing piano, and doing yoga.

Paul Seth '22

I am an honors biochemistry major from New Jersey. My current work is towards the goal of developing a widely effective vaccine against the influenza virus. When not in the lab, I can be found pole vaulting with the Swarthmore Track & Field team or baking. 

Erik-Stephane Stancofski '21

I am a biochemistry major from Lewes, DE with plans of becoming a physician. My current work in the lab involves crosslinking flu antibodies with the flu viral protein spike while determining which amino acids on the antibody are important for binding. I also enjoy playing lacrosse at Swarthmore, listening to music, and cooking!
