Today, the lab added 2 new prospective graduate students in Elias and Morgan.

Elias comes to us from Grove City College where he studied biochemistry and was a First Team All-PAC swimmer. He will explore the crossover between organic and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry to address the need for novel antibiotics.

Morgan is a graduate of Bucknell University, where she focused on cell biology and biochemistry. She will utilize this background to better understand how Listeria is able to continue to be a worldwide foodborne pathogen with recent outbreaks in the United States and Canada!

 WELCOME to the team!

 This summer, the Heisler lab welcome FIVE new students to the lab!

Erin (Carlow University) and Ellen (University of Arizona) come to us as part of the Pain and Neurodegenerative Undergraduate Research Experience (PURE and NURE) program here at Duquesne.

Zoe (Bryn Mawr) come to us as part of the The Integrated Computational and Experimental Chemistry NSF-REU Program here at Duquesne. Zoe will be co-advised with Dr. Rita Mihailescu (Duquesne).

Adisyn and Trista (Duquesne University) were selected as part of the Summer Departmental Undergraduate Research Program (URP).

Megan will be back in the lab this summer as well as part of URP.

Here is to a busy but hopefully very successful summer!
