Mike Sheedlo gets a NOGA for his K99 proposal!
Congratulations to Mike for a successful K99 application and NOGA! Super excited to see the science ahead of you!
NB: Photo from a time pre-COVID-19. You can see our smiles though. So young!
Krios G4 install progress
Happy to see the enclosure for the new Krios G4. Looking good!
Kevin schools the lab on CO2 phase transitions
It was simply a glorious day. We celebrated Shannon's F32 NOGA and Kevin taught everyone a thing or two about carbon dioxide, phase transitions, and the extraction of essential oils from a lime. Don't mess with microbiologists!
Shannon Kordus awarded an F32 for her work!
We are super proud of Shannon Kordus who has been awarded an NIH funded F32 fellowship to study C. difficile toxin secretion. It is a tad harder to celebrate in the age of COVID-19 but we did it! No stopping Shannon Kordus!! And pardon the mess. Reed is building a cryo-plunger.
No oxygen, no problem!
Congrats to these awesome ladies for assembling an anaerobic chamber on their own.
See how happy they are? We are about to start having some fun!!
