Check out this time-lapse video of chemistry lab action! There are so many different experiments going on in lab each and every day of the summer. We are hard at work.
Read MoreHailey Young ’24 – Making the most of research
After taking off the week of the Fourth to visit family and friends, Hailey is back in the lab and ready to pick up where she left off. She is continuing to perform plate reader experiments to determine the effect of DNA origami on calcium phosphate mineralization as well as visualizing the origami structures via AFM imaging. This Monday was the GRAB lab’s...
Read MoreRyan McCann ’23 – Learning Instruments and Interpreting Data
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...
