Bringing you the latest news from the Gerdon Research Group
Congratulations to Chris, Tom, Jason, and Alex on their recent publication in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces! This has been a great collaborative work with Henry Margolis and the Forsyth Institute and we’ve made some very interesting findings on the structure of amelogenin protein interactions with hydroxyapatite. “Dynamic interactions of amelogenin with hydroxyapatite surfaces are dependent on protein phosphorylation and solution pH” Check out the publication...
The campus is abuzz again as upper class students return and freshmen make their mark on campus. Researchers made their way back as well – Jack, Katerina, Marianna, Jason, Krista, and Bobby (enjoy Italy!) – best of luck on experiments this...
Dr. Gerdon was fortunate to travel to Girona, Spain to represent the group at the Gordon Research Conference in Biomineralization in August. What a great conference! The research presentations were even more beautiful than the location and country-side. It was amazing to learn more about the biology, methodology, ocean chemistry, and organisms involved in biomineralization. The research community was very welcoming and Dr. Gerdon was able to make good connections for the group. Dr. Gerdon presented a poster on: Effects of Rheological Parameters on Mineral Formation in a Microfluidic Device by Aren Gerdon, Aimee Sanford, and Geoff Conklin Here are some shots of Girona and...
Congratulations to Bobby, Jack, Krista, Katerina, and Jason on great work this summer! You achieved a lot and gave excellent reports to wrap up the summer. The State of the Project is strong!...
For our last group meeting of the summer of 2016, we were able to include Bobby from many miles away! This summer went by quickly, but we all accomplished many of our goals and learned a lot through summer research this year. This summer has been a good experience both as growing scientists and as growing...
Researcher Krista Meserve ’18 pipettes two different experiments into a 96-well plate. The well-plate will then be placed into a plate reader, which measures the absorbance of each well every minute. After the data has been analyzed, we will be able to see which (if any) strands of DNA best promoted...
