Welcome to Dr. Mengying Deng, Jinying Wang, Divya Kumari, Shengrui Shao, Nisrine Tabnaoui, and Elton Maloku as our newest lab members!
Mengying joined as a postdoc to explore the quantifications of condensates in live cells. Towards their Ph.D. in chemistry and chemical biology, Jinying will explore the phase separation of neurodegenerative proteins, Divya will explore the interplay between condensate formation and cell membrane properties.
Shengrui is continuing her undergraduate research to quantify the dynamics of cell membranes. Nisrine is a BTAA-IREP scholar from Cergy-Pontoise University, she will learn how to quantify the material properties of biomolecular condensates. Elton joined us from the LSAMP program, he will study stress-induced condensates in cells.
