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...

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....

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...

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...

The beginning of spring semester has begun! Georgia has a packed semester but is also excited to get back into research after the break. She is trying a new method for visualizing her DNA arrays that involves floating a TEM (transmission electron microscopy) grid on solution in a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tube that contains her reactants. She is...
