Prior to joining Fox Rothschild, Alice was an Associate Research Scientist at the New York University School of Medicine at NYU Langone Health. Her projects there included cryo-electron microscopy for determining protein structure, studying the formation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction, and identifying genes and neuronal circuits governing food-choice behavior.

Before that, Alice was a postdoctoral fellow at New York University where she investigated the process of cell-type specification in the developing plant root using molecular-genetic techniques, for which she was awarded a Ruth L Kirschstein NRSA Postdoctoral Fellowship. Alice received her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology with a focus in Developmental Neurobiology and her M.S. in Neurosciences from the University of California, San Diego, where she was awarded a National Science Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship.
