Excited to announce that Gabriella Perez Lopez has decided to join the lab for her Ph.D. studies. Gabriella is working to understand ribosome biogenesis, with a specific interest in how these complexes are built in non-model organisms, including human pathogens. Armed with this knowledge, we hope to develop novel classes of antibiotics specifically targeted to assembling ribosomes.
Additionally, we are thrilled to welcome Sybrina Kerr who will be working in the lab as a summer MSRP undergraduate researcher. Sybrina joins us from Clafin University, and will be working on an exciting new autophagosome assembly project.
