After a long and hard semester, Kristy is excited to spend more time in lab running experiments! Adding new lab techniques under her belt one by one! Most recently synthesizing gold nanoparticles as a part of her side project to later be used in future projects. She has been familiarizing herself with different instruments to understand their use and how it can help us in analysis. Carefully wrapping up some collagen experiments for the collagen paper, she is excited to brainstorm and start more projects! She also can’t wait to share more GRAB Lab memories both in and outside of...

Hailey is excited to be back in Boston again for a second time doing summer research! Now that the spring semester is finished, she can finally relax and focus on research instead of coursework. She’s started work on a new six-helix bundle DNA origami structure that will continue throughout the summer, and has lots of experiments planned. In June, she’ll also be attending the 2023 Northeastern Regional Meeting of ACS in June and presenting her research, which she is really looking forward to! Outside of research, she plans to take the time to explore Boston, take more walks on the Muddy River, and enjoy the warm weather! This is her final summer doing research with the GRAB Lab, and she is going to make the most of...

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...
