Katy joins the lab for her PhD work. We are so excited to have another graduate student join our team.  Another round of ice cream cake for all. Seems it is becoming a lab tradition.

Doing science (Spring 2019)

Western blots ... Heather says, "I thought we were an RNA lab?"

Thanks to Jennifer Sucre and her lab for showing us how to make Precision Cut Lung Slices for culture.  They are sooooo cool.  We even saw a beating cilia. Truly Amazing. 

 


3rd time's a charm ... moving again (Winter 2018/19)

Pua Lab #3

We are moving back onto the B hallway of MCN, into our newly renovated lab space. We have become experts in moving the lab, but we certainly hope this time we will stay put.  Excited to get settled into our new space.

Moving in, again (Spring 2018)

 

Pua Lab #2. 

Had to make a temporary move after some plaster fell down through the ceiling on our hallway.  With help from Nichole from the Skaar lab and lots of elbow grease from Carleigh, the new digs look great. Everything got moved over and in a couple of days were were up and running again.  Thanks PMI !

 Laura and Carleigh come back with an incredible haul from a lab closing free-for-all. Three carts worth of loot. Strong work team.

We have lots of stuff ... it looks like a real lab now!

Laura gives her rotation talk as our first lab meeting on extracellular vesicles produced from macrophages.  At least she is still smiling at the end.
