Stottmann Lab

Meet the Lab

We are always interested in meeting students interested to learn more about the lab and exceptional postdoctoral candidates looking to pursue training in developmental genetics.
Rolf Stottmann, PhD

Principal Investigator
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Dr. Stottmann grew up in Maryland and received B.S. (Physiology and Neurobiology) and M.S. (Developmental Neurobiology) degrees from the University of Maryland, College Park. He did his graduate work in the Duke University Medical Center Department of Cell Biology working on the role of Bone Morphogenetic Signaling in the developing nervous system. He pursued postdoctoral training at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. As a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Stottmann studied the techniques of forward genetics and positional cloning seeking ways to apply this tool to developmental neurobiology. His long-term interest is in the genetic basis of human congenital defects.

Milene Donlin, MS, MPH

Lab Manager
Research Assistant III
Milene was born and raised in San Francisco Bay Area. She received a B.A. (Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology) in 2003 from University of California, Santa Cruz, an M.S. (Biology) from Temple University in 2007 and an M.P.H. in 2011 from the University of Cincinnati. She has worked in the fields of cancer biology studying drug resistant forms of CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia) and immunology (effects of perforin mutations in familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Milene joined the lab in October, 2011.

Ashley Driver

Research Fellow
Postdoctoral Researcher
Ashley was born and raised in Beloit, Wisconsin. She completed her B.S. in Animal Science in 2008 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2012, she completed her PhD at UW-Madison in Dairy Science with a minor in the Endocrinology Reproductive-Physiology program. The title of her thesis research was, “Transcriptomic, genomic, and functional analysis of imprinted genes on bovine pre-implantation embryo development.” Ashley joined the lab in September 2012.

Megan Nicols

Research Assistant II
Megan is a native of the Cincinnati area and received her B.A. (Zoology) from Miami University in 2011. She joined the laboratory in January 2012.
