URSS Oral and Poster Presentations

The annual 2025 Undergraduate Research & Scholarship Symposium (URSS) will be held on  April 2 in the Charles Dougherty Ballroom in the Power Center.

From the Heisler Lab:

Ryan will be giving both an ORAL and poster presentation describe his findings of imidazole and diamine compounds that possess novel antibacterial properties.

Trista will be giving a POSTER presentation describing her exploration of novel triazole compounds that have both broad and high specificities against common food-borne pathogens.

Brianne will be presenting her POSTER that highlights her efforts to uncover how a subset of Listeria proteins interact with host proteins during infection.

Megan will be using her POSTER to describe her efforts to understand how Listeria may regulate gene transcription to prevent a host response using a secreted protein.

Welcome Mia!

The Heisler lab is excited to welcome Mia to our lab this semester. Mia a freshman biochemistry major who aspires to be a medical doctor. Her project will focus on proteins and genes related to the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and how structures in the regulatory elements of genes linked to MS might provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention. 

Heisler Lab at CERM 2024!

Today Megan, Trista, and Elizabeth (Cascio Lab) represented the Heisler lab at the American Chemical Society Central Regional Meeting 2024 in Greentree, PA. Trista and Elizabeth were both recognized for their presentations with Top Poster Award!

Additionally, work from Zoe (Summer student; Bryn Mawr) was presented as part of Sophia Hershey’s poster (Mihailescu Lab). Caleb Frye (Mihailescu lab) also gave a talk about our collaborative findings on the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome 3′-untranslated region.
