Hot off the presses - a recent review of biological upcycling of plastics waste from the @BlennerLab and @drksolomon annualreviews.org/content/jo…
The @BlennerLab welcomes four new PhD students (Wren Mallikarjunan, Nathan Miller, Ray Tsao, and Sam Fine) and two new undergraduates (Liv Quick and Susan Kuhn). We also say goodbye to Dr. Vijay Ganesan.
Congrats to Vijay! He became the 9th PhD to graduate from the @BlennerLab and our first @UDChBE.
Always proud and thankful for what our postdocs bring to the culture of our lab. Thanks for all you do Drs. Chris Nauman, Jaya Singh, Richa Guleria, Prem Pritam, Patrick Beardslee, and Jenna Moore Ott.
And welcome back to returning @BlennerLab undergrads: Rena So, Kayla Wolf, Shirley Gottlieb, Zach Stevenson, Megan Tarr, Mekhi Wlliams, and Jaylen Harrison (@UD_CPI). @UDChBE
Wishing all the best to our graduating seniors - Jack Werb, Nick Brennan, Khiem Le, Jack Seiffert, Chiku Bhatt, Ian Kang, and Suzi Zien. Thanks for all your hard work!
This is just one of several exciting projects in the @BlennerLab.
#UDel's Mark Blenner and collaborators are exploring how microbes and mealworms could play a big role in breaking down plastics that can't be recycled. ow.ly/WHK550MusTn @ENERGY @UDengineering @UDChBE

Congrats to Mike Spagnuolo who became the 8th @BlennerLab PhD. He and Dyllan Rives were both hooded @ClemsonUniv last week.
Congrats to Anthony Stohr and Rachel Silvestri who passed their qualifiers and are now PhD candidates!
Congrats to the @BlennerLab's newest PhD - Dr. Dyllan Rives. She's the last student remaining at @ClemsonChBE. We're so proud of your accomplishments!
The @BlennerLab @weigao_wang @MarkBlenner published a paper on heterologous enzyme secretion in Yarrowia lipolytica, showing improvements via promoter, secretion tag, and secretory pathway engineering. link.springer.com/article/10…
Welcome to our 18 undergrads joining us this summer: Dheeraj, Nick, Jack W., Mekhi, Rena, Zach, Kayla, Max, Grace, Hanna, Krittee, Megan, Khiem, Suzi, Joe, Jack S., Chiku, and Sri.

The @BlennerLab is looking for a staff scientist with either significant analytical experience relevant to large and small Biomolecule detection (GC, LC, MS, metabolomics, or proteomics), or significant microbial engineering and molecular cloning experience. DM w/ interest.

The @BlennerLab is looking for a lab technician - someone with BS and some molecular biology / biochemistry lab experience. Ideally, looking to gain a few years of lab and research experience, looking to jump to grad school or industry after. Excitement about #synbio required.
Congrats to James Foster, a former undergrad in the @BlennerLab, who received his PhD from Scott Husson's group @Clemson_ChBE last week. James found his passion for research as an undergrad.
Congrats to Dr. Molly Wintenberg, who received her PhD last week. @MarkBlenner hooded her during the PhD hooding ceremony. Dr. Wintenberg is starting a postdoc at @NIST later this summer. Congrats on all your accomplishments!
