The official College announcement came out today! Thanks to all current and former research students for their work in the lab so far!

RJ Chadha ’20 and Prof. Kovarik attended the 2019 Experimental Biology meeting in Orlando, FL. This meeting combines the annual meetings of several societies, including the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, which sponsored RJ’s travel based on his poster award from the meeting held at Northeastern University last semester.

RJ presented his poster in the Undergraduate Poster Session, where he won Honorable Mention, and in the main meeting. Congratulations RJ!

On November 18, RJ Chadha and Jason Deck presented their research in the lab at the 2018 American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Northeast Regional Meeting at Northeastern University in Boston. The poster session was very sucessful with both Jason and RJ getting positive feedback on their work. RJ won one of three best poster undergraduate awards at the meeting, and his prize includes $500 toward attendance at the 2019 ASBMB Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL this April. Congratulations RJ!

Unfortunately, we did not get any photos of RJ and Jason at their posters, but we did get our picture taken at the Logan Airport rental car counter, where we picked up some replacement wheels after Prof. K’s car broke down.
