March 2013

It is a wonderful march for the lab. We have several reasons to celebrate!

First, Shikhi, Eddie and Sri, three members in our lab shared their exciting research with colleagues on campus during the SRW. Thank you all for your great talks!

Bonus! Eddie won the sencond place in oral presentations in Medical Scinece Category.

Third, a plaque for Outstanding Scientific Achievement is now in Beiyan'a office.

Cheers!

August 2012

Congratulations to Cong, who is awarded "Outstanding Graduate Student Scholarship" from our college.

March 2012

Patali S Cheruku did an excellent plateform presentation in the Student Research Week symposium on the topic of the regulatory mechanim of microRNAs in early B cell development.  The graduate student Cong Meng is her mentor on this project.
