The blissful joy of summer research feels like a distant past, but we took time to celebrate all that lab success at the Summer Research Poster Session on October 3rd. Congrats on Georgia, Marissa, Juan, and Dennis on awesome posters and a great poster session. We’re now a month into the Fall semester and the days are flying by as we stay busy with...
Read MoreUntrappable! Research Summer 2024
This group of research students is undaunted, unphased, and untrappable – either by Boston escape rooms or by tricky experiments. Together as a team, we conquered the evil witch and conquered unruly experiments. Juan, Marissa, Dennis, and Georgia did amazing work in the lab this summer, collected a huge amount of data, made great progress on these...
Read MoreGeorgia Kazis ’27 – Loving Research! (and more atomic forces)
Georgia has been loving research! Her first summer has been going by really fast, but she has made some good progress. She has been imaging with AFM (atomic force microscopy) a lot and the instrument seems to like her more these past few days. She has also been working on her state of the project presentation. It has made her look back on all of her...
Read MoreJuan Alejandro ’25 – Feeling Atomic Forces
Summer research is almost done (even though it feels like it just started)! Juan is currently conducting his last experiments of the summer, working on his distinction in the field proposal, and the state of the project write-up. This summer has been so busy, and much has been done! Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to image multiple samples,...
Read MoreMarissa Diplacido ’25 – Counting Ligands
A new part of Marissa’s research involves using a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument. Not only is she looking for the detection of her ligands at concentrations in the micromolar range, but also for the concentration of them within her samples. As the summer progresses, she has been trying to quantify the number of ligands on her...
Read MoreDennis Nguyen ’25 – Fighting through T and traffic for research!
After a chaotic spring semester, Dennis is excited to join GRAB Lab as a part-timer! This will be his first (and last) summer in the lab, and it is already half-way done. He will be carrying on Donalissa’s work with nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. The progress was overall smooth sailing, but it all changed when the plate reader software decided to expire...
