Two amazing high school students from Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School spent a week as part of the research team in the Gerdon and Lau labs in Chemistry at Emmanuel College. It was a great experience for the HS students and our undergraduate researchers to participate as students and teachers – we learned a lot from each other this week, built our confidence in the lab, and had a lot of fun. Melannie worked with the GRAB Lab team and did a great job synthesizing nanoparticles, purifying them, reacting them in a successful place exchange, and analyzing them with gel electrophoresis. That’s a lot of work for one week!
Thank you to Dr. Lau, Dr. Deighan, Dr. Gian Grant at NDCR, and funding from IQHQ for making this happen. We hope to have more NDCR students work with us in the future!
