Dr. Jacob A Siedlik

Dr. Jake Siedlik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, specializing in computational biology. From a computational perspective, Dr. Siedlik has focused on ways to leverage data in conjunction with advanced statistical methodologies to answer fundamental biological and physiological questions while advancing the use of computational technologies in biomedical research. This work has centered on multiomic approaches to data analysis that include metabolomic, lipidomic, and proteomic pipelines. The use of varied statistical methods has allowed Dr. Siedlik to work within a variety of areas, including investigating how certain supplements alter performance in elite athletes, examining the effect of resistance training paired with creatine supplementation in rodent models undergoing chemotherapy, and quantifying how high-intensity, dual stress challenges impact ethical decision making in United States Marines. Dr. Siedlik earned his B.A. in mathematics from Colorado College, his M.A. in applied physiology from Teachers College at Columbia University, and his Ph.D. in exercise physiology from the University of Kansas. Before his graduate studies, Siedlik was a police officer and sergeant with the New York City Police Department.
