Super proud to share the Alejandra successfully defended her @LSUEngineering masters thesis in BAE. She’s been able to do such great work on her own during the lab’s transition. I see great things ahead for her!

I was a true pleasure going back to LSU last week to hood @Ali_Rahnama_ with his PhD. I’m particularly proud of Ali and all he accomplished during Covid and supply chain issues. Plus he’s the one the kept the lights on after I left. He’s going to do great things.

You know it’s a good Halloween when some of the @Clemson_ChBE students dress up as me. They even all included my energy drink of choice!

Super excited to share this work led by my student Hannah Hymel for a crazy idea I had making a new class of PROTACs. We showed a beta-hairpin motif could be used to enhance uptake and stability of peptide-based PROTACs. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Last walk out of PFT with the group as I head to @Clemson_ChBE to start the next step in my academic journey. It’s been a blast LSU but I’m excited for what comes next

So proud of Ali @Ali_Rahnama_ for successfully defending his thesis. He overcame so many challenges and accomplished some great work on biosensor design and single cell analysis. And he is looking for postdoc positions to bring that same energy and greatness to a new lab!

It was a pleasure to work with @LSUDiscover #gulfscholar Jennifer Cagnolatti this summer. She did some great work on a collaborative project between @LSUEngineering and @LSU_CCE looking cell-to-cell communication between two different algal species
