Today, Dr. Heisler presented at BPS2025, the annual meeting for the Biophysical Society, in Los Angeles, California. The talk focused on the lab’s collaboration with Dr. Mihailescu’s lab focused on the role of host-viral interactions in the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

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.
The summer research season has come to a bittersweet ending. As the last activity of the summer, the undergraduates presented all of their hard work at the Regional Undergraduate Research Symposium here at Duquesne University. 
Congrats to Elizabeth on her honorable mention at the 37th annual ACS Regional Symposium held here at Duquesne.
Elizabeth will be presenting at the Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium here at Duquesne next week! Check out a summary of her work:
