So much has happened since my last post and I apologize for not recognizing all the hard work and accomplishments from lab members over the past year or so. Here is a picture from our Holiday Party and check out Pubmed to see what we have been up to in lab:
We are overdue in welcoming new students to the lab this year. We are happy that the following individuals have chosen our lab to carry out their research projects and to being part of our team:
Sarah Al-Saad (Graduate Student Molecular Pharmacology Program, University of Pittsburgh) will pursue her thesis project in the lab in collaboration with Dr. Adam Straub.
