After a chaotic spring semester, Dennis is excited to join GRAB Lab as a part-timer! This will be his first (and last) summer in the lab, and it is already half-way done. He will be carrying on Donalissa’s work with nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. The progress was overall smooth sailing, but it all changed when the plate reader software decided to expire right before his mineralization experiment! It is not fully a bad thing since it will give him more time for his side project of synthesizing bigger nanoparticles and perfecting well plate preparation. Other than that, he has enjoyed his time in the lab so far, learning how to use various instruments, techniques, and experimental protocols. Outside of the lab, Dennis has been exploring what food Boston has to offer during his lunch break and fighting his way through the T or traffic.
