Alexa Lantiere

By Kitty Merrill
Once again a student at Pierson High
School in Sag Harbor has been named

www.indyeastend.com
a semi finalist in the prestigious Intel
science talent search, and is the only East
Ender to garner the honor.
Alexa Lantiere, daughter of Theresa
and Salvatore Lantiere of Sag Harbor, was
chosen last week for her work isolating
compounds in the collospongia.
Dr. Robert Schumacher, who oversees
the research program at Pierson and has
guided five previous students to the Intel
semifinals explained the folks at Atlantis
Aquarium in Riverhead were having
trouble with the collospongia, after it was
accidentally introduced to a tank. It was
impervious to an anemone’s sting, fish
wouldn’t eat it and it began to grow

then repeatedly testing until a single
compound was isolated. Using a filtration
process, the senior, who is also an athlete,
sent her findings to the University of
Mississippi where researchers learned
what the compound was made of. With

Q Traveler Watchman
that information Alexa was able to
interpret the structure of the compound.
She determined the compound has
antifouling properties, which keep it
free of growth – it’s similar to the paint
people put on the bottom of a boat,
she explained. The compound also has
antibiotic properties, which may have
medicinal value.
“The curator [at Atlantis] asked us
to try and find out why this sponge
was so successful in out-competing
other organisms,” Dr. Schumacher
summarized. “Alexa’s research answered

A life long resident of Sag Harbor,
Alexa has already been accepted to Johns

board voted earlier this month to establish a town
historical burial ground committee. The committee is

information about the gravestones. They’ll also establish
best practices for the care of the mortuary artifacts and Photos will be featured in The Independent Bridal Issue.
