Congratulations to the entire GRAB Lab team on a very successful, enlightening, and inspiring trip to San Diego for the ACS National Conference. The impressive amount of chemistry can be overwhelming at times but this group of undergraduate researchers did an amazing job sharing their hard work with the chemistry community and the world. We made some fantastic connections and got some great new ideas. These students are professionals who are learning and contributing all at the same time. We also enjoyed the sunshine, cherry blossoms, botanical gardens, tacos, more tacos, and more chemistry. Congrats to these researchers and their awesome presentations:
Juan Alejandro ’25 – Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) analysis of collagen mineralization demonstrates reaction kinetics, mass deposition, and hydrogel rigidity
Marissa Diplacido ’25 – Zwitterionic Ligand Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis Produce Biomimetic Templates to Control Calcium Phosphate Mineralization (you had me at “zwitterion”…)
Dennis Nguyen ’25 – Mineralization of Calcium Phosphate with Different-Sized and Aptamer-Attached Gold Nanoparticles
Georgia Kazis ’27 – Assembly and analysis of DNA origami arrays as biomimetic scaffolds for calcium phosphate mineralization
Dr. Gerdon joined the fun too, presenting in the PUNC (Primarily Undergraduate Nanomaterials Cooperative) session!
Aren Gerdon – Versatility of gold monolayer protected nanoparticles to control calcium materials
