My research focuses on exploring metal-dependent responses in bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and discover their role regarding survival within vertebrate hosts. Fun Fact: I like playing guitar and drawing. Degree Program: Chemistry Lab: Giedroc Undergrad Institution: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

My research focuses on the role of ADARs (Adenosine Deaminases that Act on RNA) and Adenosine-to-Inosine RNA editing in the germline of C. elegans. Fun Fact: I love cooking and baking. Degree Program: Biology Lab: Hundley Undergrad Institution: Illinois Wesleyan University

My research focuses on creating optical traps inside microfluidic devices and using them for bio-particle trapping, sorting, and directing. We hypothesize that we can create these optical traps using extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through subwavelength apertures in a metal film. Fun Fact: I love to cook for my wife and daughter. It’s like chemistry I […]

My research focuses on cell signaling mechanisms in the unicellular protozoan Capsaspora owczarzaki and its link to the parasitic disease schistosomiasis. Fun Fact: I love rock hounding and lapidary. Degree Program: Chemistry Lab: Gerdt Undergrad Institution: New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology MDMC

My research focuses on the intersection of metabolism and cell wall synthesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Fun Fact: I have climbed Mt. Fuji and have danced for 20+ years. Degree Program: Microbiology Lab: Winkler Undergrad Institution: Bucknell University

My research focuses on polyploid contributions to genome instability. Fun Fact: I have been running track for 10 years and now do marathons. Degree Program: Cell, Molecular, and Cancer Biology Lab: Walczak Undergrad Institution: Penn State
