Dinner with former and current group members at #ASMS2022

If you are attending #ASMS2022, come check out Zack's poster TODAY using covalent labeling MS to study membrane protein binding in living cells.

Graduation ceremonies in person with Dr. Xiao Pan, Dr. Laura Castellanos, and Richard!

Congrats to Zach Danaceau for winning the 2022 Oliver Zajicek Memorial Scholarship in analytical chemistry. After graduating, Zach is headed to grad school in Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison @UWMadisonChem

Congratulations to Zachary Kirsch for receiving a 2022 ASMS Graduate Student Travel Award to attend the ASMS meeting in Minneapolis #asms2022

We recently received a replacement turbo pump from PTB Sales for one of our mass spectrometers, and two days later this happened. 😢 No refund, no replacement.😠

Congrats to former student Nadnudda 'Tan' Rodthongkum, who received a research invention award from the National Research Council of Thailand for her invention of a sensor that can detect glucose in sweat.
