Congratulations to Dr. Evan Janzen for a well-deserved finish to his graduate studies! Five years of dedicated work spanning organic synthesis, RNA biochemistry, and bioinformatics was summarized in an excellent thesis defense. Dr. Janzen will be venturing across the...
When Huan Peng first cloned M13 chimeras by mix-and-match with other filamentous phages, in order to change the host targeted, we thought we’d probably need to do at least a little directed evolution to improve the folding or affinity of the new chimeras. That...
Congratulations to Dr. Claire Tran on successfully defending her thesis! We will miss her hard-won expertise in protein and RNA biochemistry as well as her carefully crafted ‘joke’ slides. Dr. Tran is heading to Boston to join i2o Therapeutics.
After more than seven wonderful years at UCSB, our lab is beginning a new chapter at UCLA! We are excited to join the ‘Bruin’ family in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Many thanks to our tireless and optimistic lab mates who packed...
Congratulations to Sam Verbanic on an exceptionally smooth thesis defense! Four and a half years of hard work and enthusiasm establishing a completely new project in the lab could be seen. Dr. Verbanic will be staying with us as a postdoctoral fellow to expand his...
