2015 Spring Science Symposium
Livia, Kunwei, and Allie presented their research to the Trinity community at the 2015 Spring Science Symposium on April 30.
“Hot” article in Analytical Methods
My recent review of analytical chemistry research at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) was recently named a “hot” article by the publisher, making it free to access for a few weeks!
ACS-CVS Meeting – University of St. Joseph
The group attended the annual spring meeting of the Connecticut Valley Section of the ACS on Saturday at the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, CT.
Livia gave a talk and received the CVS award for biochemistry for Trinity College.
Kunwei and Allie gave their first poster at a regional meeting.
Great conference and great weather!
Kunwei and Allie present seminar
Kunwei and Allie presented their research at department seminar in a talk titled “The Measurement of Protein Kinase B (PKB) and Peptidase Activities in Dictyostelium.” Jake Rubin and Shelly Dyer from the Church lab also presented.
Pittcon 2015 – New Orleans
Livia Shehaj and I presented our research at Pittcon 2015 in New Orleans, March 8-12. Photos below with thanks to James Graydon.
Congratulations Berjana!
Berjana Nazarko finished her coursework and will receive her degree in May. The lab took her out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate.
Kunwei presents at seminar
On November 14, Kunwei presented her first department seminar on her research. Her title was “The Measurement of Protein Kinase B (PKB) Activity in Dictyostelium”.
Way to go, Kunwei!
She is pictured below with one of our other student speakers, Haley Berg from the Brindle Lab.
Ellie presents at seminar
On Oct 31, Ellie Clerc, ’17, gave her chemistry department seminar, titled “Constructing a System for the Development of the Social Amoeba Dictyostelium on a Microfluidic Chip.” Congrats to Ellie on giving her first seminar!
Our Oct 31 speakers, Ellie Clerc and Niru Pokharel from the Curran Lab
Livia presents at department seminar
Livia Shehaj, ’15, presented her research in our lab at the Chemistry Department seminar today. Her title was “Characterization of the Stability of Supported Bilayer Membranes in PDMS Microfluidic Devices.”
In the picture below, she is with our other speakers for the day, Tom Naragon and Nate Thiemann from the Church Lab.
