Samuel Shemke

Undergraduate Researcher

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan majoring in Biology, Health and Society. I plan to graduate in 2028 and pursue medical school afterwards. I am deeply interested in cognitive resilience and neurodegeneration.

I joined the Kaczorowski Lab in May of 2026 under the mentorship of Julia Kravchenko. Currently, I am investigating how Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) affects sleep quality and overall brain cognition. My project utilizes immunohistochemistry and fluorescence imaging to analyze RbFox1 and RbFox2 expression within the brains of AD-BXD panel mice.

In my free time I enjoy playing soccer, cooking, and discovering new movies to watch!
