Ryan has been working on attaching our DNA aptamers to the three different gold nanoparticles that we’ve synthesized in the lab (including Rylie’s and Dianna’s syntheses), as well as starting calcium phosphate mineralization experiments using the absorbance plate reader instrument. He’s been working through calculations, solution...
Read MoreResearch Alumni Gathering 2022!
Dr. Gerdon and the current research group would like to say a huge thank you to all of the alumni who came out on Monday. We are inspired by the great things that you’re all achieving in science and in life. It is so rewarding to have the chance to catch up, hear about your lives and experiences, argue about cannolis and tiramisu, and have some fun....
Read MoreAlumni Updates!
This summer it has been great to reconnect with GRAB Lab alumni and to hear about amazing work that’s happening all over the country. Soon we will get to gather to share old and new stories in person, but here are a few updates from those unable to make it to Boston next week! Congrats to Rylie, Dianna, Amanda, Luz, and Grace on graduation! All are...
Read MoreWelcome Camilla to the Research Group!
We are very excited to have Camilla Alexius-Chin, an amazing high school chemistry teacher in the Boston Public School System, join the GRAB Lab this summer. Camilla is joining our National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project on DNA and nanoparticle assemblies as biomimetic templates for calcium phosphate mineralization. She is off to a great start...
Read MoreMeet the Group – now on Tik Tok!
Thanks to the pioneering spirit of GRAB Lab researcher Kristy Ta, we are moving into the age of video communication! I know, we’re probably a bit behind the game on this, but Kristy deserves a huge thanks for bringing this great idea forward. Now we’re expanding our social media presence and doing an even better job of sharing our...
Read MoreJulia Japo ’22 – Temperature under Control
Julia has made a lot of progress this summer in terms of her mineralization experiments! She has even made her own oven/water bath for these experiments to control the temperature in the QCM (quartz crystal microbalance)! She is having a blast working on this project, getting to know the other group members, and exploring different food options nearby...
