Michael presented his research at the Fifth Annual Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium hosted by the Colorado Research Experiences (CORE) program. It was a great chance to share his work, meet other trainees, and celebrate a summer of research. Great job, Michael!
Huge congratulations to Molly, who presented her poster at the CU Anschutz Annual Postdoc Research Day and came home with a poster presentation award! We’re so excited to see her hard work recognized, incredibly well deserved!
The lab spent the day at the beautiful University of Colorado Boulder campus for the Front Range Cytoskeleton Meeting. Michael presented his latest research, and everyone enjoyed a day of great science, catching up with colleagues, and representing the lab. It was a fun day all around!!
Congratulations Molly on receiving an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship from NIGMS!! Molly’s fellowship will support her research into the role of the cohesin complex in the repair of damaged DNA, work with important implications for how cells maintain genome integrity. This award is a testament to the creativity and rigor she…
We are excited to welcome Dr. Sara Przetocka to the team as a Research Associate. Sara joins us from the Salk Institute and brings extensive experience in molecular and cell biology, where her previous research focused on mechanisms that preserve genome stability, including the regulation of telomere function. In the lab, Sara will investigate how…
Molly Receives the Howell Travel Award! Congratulations to Molly on receiving the Howell Travel Award! Molly will use the award to attend the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory course on Chromatin, Epigenetics, and Gene Expression, a wonderful opportunity to deepen her expertise and learn new techniques in genome biology. Congratulations Molly, well deserved!
Molly Accepted into the Cold Spring Harbor Chromatin and Gene Expression Course! Exciting news! Molly has been accepted into the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory course on Chromatin, Epigenetics, and Gene Expression! This is a wonderful opportunity for Molly to develop techniques in chromatin capture that will be directly applicable to her work on Cohesin, and…
Ally has been named a Boettcher Investigator! We are thrilled to represent the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical School as a recipient of the Boettcher Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Award. This grant will support our work exploring the role of PRR12 in the regulation of the Cohesin complex in the repair of damaged DNA.
Welcome, Michael Leonard! We are delighted to welcome Michael Leonard to the Nguyen Lab as our first Professional Research Assistant! Michael completed his undergraduate training at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where he studied plant-fungi interactions in the lab of Dr. Kelly Lyons. Michael will be spearheading our work investigating how gene requirements change…
The Nguyen lab is up and running! It has been an exciting few weeks as we get the lab up and running . We ran our first agarose gel and got our first cells into culture, small but satisfying milestones as we build toward the science ahead. More to come!
