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!
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…
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!
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…
Welcome Dr. Molly Zych to the Lab! We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Molly Zych to the lab as our first postdoctoral researcher! Molly comes to us from the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, where she completed her PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Emily Hatch. There she developed deep expertise in chromatin regulation and nuclear…
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…
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!!
