Today was a busy day for the Chow Lab!
Lesley gave a seminar in the Department of Chemistry at City University of New York (CUNY) College of Staten Island (CSI). She enjoyed meeting with faculty, seeing the campus, and learning about their exciting research. Thanks for the invitation to share our latest research! On the same day, Nicole Malofsky and Reilly Callahan represented the... Continue Reading →
Ivan and Sydney win GELH grants to fund their summer research with the Chow Lab!
Bioengineering undergraduate students Ivan Spann and Sydney Yang were awarded Grants for Experiential Learning in Health (GELH) funding from Lehigh to conduct research in the Chow Lab this summer. Ivan will be working on spatiotemporal 3D printed constructs and Sydney will continue her previous research on supramolecular hydrogels. Excited to have you both around this... Continue Reading →
Annie and Lucien join the Chow Lab!
This post is a wee late... We have two new undergraduate students in the lab this semester! Annie Behre is a Bioengineering junior who was recently awarded a prestigious Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholarship to conduct research in the Chow Lab. (Note: Divya Patel and Kelly Seims are also Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholars!) Annie's project involves... Continue Reading →
New automated microwave peptide synthesizer in the lab!
We were recently awarded a grant through Lehigh's Critical Research Equipment Fund (CREF) to acquire an automated microwave peptide synthesizer for our lab and others across Lehigh. This new instrument will significantly speed up research progress and improve our synthesis capabilities while saving valuable time and resources. Many thanks to Lehigh and those who helped...
