Laboratory of Microbes and Biochemistry

The lab is stoked to receive funding and support from the SPROUT program to support our collaboration on antifungals with the Ragunathan lab. Thank you Brandeis Innovation!

The lab hosts Stefan Huber from H2C2 for an incredible seminar on gas vesicles of floating bacteria. Thank you Stefan you will be missed!

The lab cheers on Amaya at her soccer tournament. Go Amaya, defend the Judges!

Alex and Teresa attend the Dartmouth M2P2 retreat in Lake Morey, Vermont. Elio is nearly "born on ice" like Bobby Orr! What an awesome community, thanks for having us.

The lab receives its first grant from Hamilton! We will use the Syringe Grant to purchase materials that allow undergraduate trainees to produce liposomes in lab.

The lab begins at Brandeis in the Department of Biochemistry at Brandeis University. Renovations begin!

The lab is honored to receive funding from the Rita Allen Scholars Program to support our work on the Mechanism and evolution of membrane pore formation in immune signaling. Thank you Rita Allen! See Brandeis press release.

The incredible artist and scientist Nora Pyenson behind the lab's wallpaper comes to see her work. Thanks Nora!

Emma Kote wins a Provost's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship to support her research over the summer. Congrats Emma!

Former BCBP graduate rotation student Allie Mingione wins 3rd place in the Brandeis Microscopy Image Contest for her entry "Black hole sun". The micrograph was taken using the new Tundra electron microscope at the Brandeis. Congrats Allie!

Alex takes the lab's first micrograph of a phage (T4) using a sample kindly provided by Siân Owen, using the Morgagni at the Louise Mashal Gabbay Cellular Visualization and Electron Microscopy Center.
