Bio
Eric joined the Antonopoulos lab group as a research technician in July 2010. He uses a variety of molecular and microbiology techniques to prepare samples for next-generation DNA sequencing runs.
Eric earned his B.S. in Integrative Biology from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2010. As an undergraduate, he gained research experience in Dr. Angela Kent’s lab where he studied microbial nitrogen transformations and used DNA “fingerprinting” approaches to examine changes in microbial assemblages in response to moisture gradients in restored wetlands. For the future, Eric plans on attending a graduate program where he can apply molecular biology techniques to address important issues in environmental engineering.
