📢Super excited to announce that the Chidley lab will open @Duke_PCB in September 2024, alongside the @amcdarnell lab🥳. The Chidley lab will use genetic screening approaches to dive into the world of transporter proteins and explore how they drive the movement of nutrients,...
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Alicia Darnell @amcdarnell and Dr. Christopher Chidley @chidley_chris as our newest Assistant Professors 👋. pcb.duke.edu/news/pcb-appoin…
