Welcome to our newest graduate students: Tyler Brant and Kimberly Edicha!
Tyler completed his Biology undergraduate degree at Western Colorado University and his master's degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Edinburgh. He will be co-mentored with Dr. David Sherman and he will be working on researching the structural biology and cell biology of biosynthetic pathway proteins (especially polyketide synthases) in prokaryotes.
Kimberly completed her bachelor's degree in Professional Biochemistry at Eastern Michigan University where she conducted research in Dr. Steven Backues' lab on proteins associated with selective autophagy. She then joined Dr. Phyllis Hanson's lab here at UMich as a Research Technician investigatng the mechanisms underlying the membrane stress response. She is excited to join the Mosalaganti lab and use structural and biochemical approaches to study proteins involved in mitochondrial fission at membrane contact sites.
Welcome to you both!!
Welcome our newest Research Lab Specialist Senior Durga Attili!
Durga received his M.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology from Eastern Michigan University. He worked for several years in industry. His previous research focused on: isolation of exosomes from cultured astrocytes, from blood obtained from bipolar and undiagnosed individuals, investigating astrocyte-derived exosomes composition and function in bipolar disorder, and growing cerebral organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). He will be working in both the Mosalaganti lab and the Barmada lab.
Welcome to the lab!
Congratulations Renaldo for passing his checkpoint 1 candidacy exam!!!!
If are you interested in joining the lab, let us know!
