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...

After returning from spring break, Marissa finished up the poster she is presenting at the ACS Conference in San Diego. She also wrapped up her final mineralization experiment on her current place exchanged nanoparticles so she can shift her complete focus into completing her Distinction in the Field paper and presentation. As graduation approaches, she...

Dr. Gerdon had a great day at Pittcon Conference + Exposition in Boston last week! Thanks to Dr. Michelle Kovarik for the invitation to present in the Future of Analytical Chemistry Education session. It was great to share our work at Emmanuel College (Boston) on social justice in the chemistry...
Read MoreMia Mullen ’25 – A Sticky Situation
After making it through half the spring semester, Mia is making progress with her research. The lipid nanoparticle powder proved to be difficult to work with at first, but after identifying the usefulness of sucrose, the process is slowly coming along. Originally the pure and dry lipid nanoparticles were too sticky and did not grind well into a powder....
Read MoreJuan Alejandro ’25 – Y so many changes?
The spring semester is moving fast (faster than expected). Exams are unfortunately beginning, ACS is just around the corner, graduation is approaching, and research is coming along very slowly. Juan has made many changes to the QCM Y-junction set-up, and a pause has been placed on dynamic experiments. Currently, the flow-cell chamber has been removed to...
Read MoreDennis Nguyen ’25 – inching closer
After a super busy Holiday season, Dennis is back and ready for a busy research semester! The ACS Conference is inching closer, but there are still lots of things he wants to do to add to his poster. He is getting back to calcium phosphate mineralization experiments after a break from that to focus on synthesizing stable and larger nanoparticles. The...
