The Stokes Lab
Alicia Peters
Student. Swimmer. Sports Medicine Enthusiast.
I am an undergraduate junior pursuing a degree in Kinesiology with a minor in health studies, in hopes of getting into physical therapy grad school. I love learning all the things about the human body and am super stoked to be working with Dr. Stokes this summer!
Dr. Stokes
Academic. Researcher. Explorer.
My path to get here was not linear, but I like to think that I learned a lot along the way. This convoluted path also proved to solidify what I knew all along: I love science, I love to teach science, and I love introducing students to research.

I am passionate and curious about the human body and mind, and am excited to work with Dr. Stokes and see what we can discover through research! My hope is to attend graduate school after eventually completing my undergraduate degree of psychology with a kinesiology minor.

The lab mascot! A poorly extracted dorsal root ganglion resulted in this colorful prehistoric masterpiece. Captured during my thesis research, Toprosaur safeguards the lab.
(The name is a combination of the TOPRO3 antibody and dinosaur)
