At CC, he worked in a research lab studying post-transcriptional regulators of dendrite morphogenesis in\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">C. elegans<\/i>. Previously, Aidan contributed to questions related to the effects of climate change on sub-alpine ecosystems at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) in Gothic CO, specifically: 1) which genetic and environmental risk factors influence the susceptibility of quaking aspen groves to drought-induced disease and mortality, and 2) whether complex topography protects against climate-driven extinction by providing species with access to a broad range of local climate zones. Aidan has also contributed to the bioinformatic prediction and experimental validation of protein enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of membrane components that may contribute to the remarkable resistance of the pathogenic\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">C. burnetii<\/i>\u00a0spore. Currently, Aidan is a first-year PhD student in Kris Gunsalus&#8217;s lab where he studies the biogenesis of secondary siRNAs in the\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">C. elegans<\/i>\u00a0germline. Aidan enjoys playing tennis and trying to beat his stairmaster record of 301 floors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
