Summer research is off to a great start with a talented and dedicated group of students. Hailey, Kristy, and Donalissa are leading the way as rising seniors. Juan and Marissa are learning the ropes but are moving quickly as rising juniors. We’re looking forward to having an area high school teacher join us later this summer too. A great way to kick off the summer was to gather all researchers in Chemistry & Physics for a wonderful lunch followed by a team-building contest. The challenge was to build the best paper airplane…..using old posters from past ACS conferences. Thank you and sorry to those wonderful alumni who unknowingly donated their posters to this effort! Congrats to Juan and Dr. Price for building the winning...

For one short afternoon the GRAB Lab was able to celebrate a great semester in the lab by talking about accomplishments and goals. What better place to do this than at the local Tasty Burger! We celebrated successes as well as new challenges that await us in summer research or in life after graduation. This has been a great and supportive group to work with and we want to carry that positive energy forward. Congrats to all on a great semester – now onward to finals. You got this! *Thumbs Up* ...

As Ryan’s college experience at Emmanuel draws to a close, he has been reflecting on all the amazing people, memories and experiences he has had throughout his four years at Emmanuel. Ryan has always loved chemistry, but through Emmanuel’s classes, and through research with the GRAB Lab, his love has only grown stronger. Ryan is excited for graduation, which is just a few weeks away! He wished that he had more time, as there is always more research to be done and science to explore! Ryan is very grateful for the opportunity to be apart of the GRAB Lab team and is looking forward to what the future...

The spring meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) is almost here! Emmanuel College students will be traveling with Dr. Gerdon, Dr. Watt, and Dr. Lau to Indianapolis – the Crossroads of America – for this amazing conference. It is time to be immersed in – and geek-out about – global chemistry fun. If you’re looking for some great talks and posters, look no further. Here’s your guide to great chemistry: Sunday, March 26th Kristy Ta ’23 – Selected DNA aptamers exhibit structure-dependent control of collagen mineralization – COLL – Biomaterials and Biointerfaces Poster Session Ryan McCann ’24 – Nanoparticles presenting biomimetic ligands influence mineralization of calcium phosphate – COLL – PUNC: Nanomaterials Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions Poster Session Monday, March 27th Julia Japo ’24 – Quartz crystal microbalance analysis of collagen mineralization kinetics – CHED – Poster Session Hailey Young ’23 – DNA origami nanostructures as biomimetic scaffolds for calcium phopshate mineralization – CHED – Poster Session Morgan Knauer ’24 and Noelle Natale ’24 – Receptor synthesis for detection of reactive sulfur species (RSS) – CHED –...
