The lab revisited an old friend, the cupredoxin fold, in collaboration with the Thielges group. Congratulations to Emma (Emma McRae) and Katie (katie e) for their late-breaking contribution to this plastocyanin infrared spectroscopy paper! nature.com/articles/s4200…

Congratulations Joey Cotruvo for the well-deserved recognition! Outstanding research by his lab! @ACS_DivBioChem

Congrats to our Assistant Research Scientist, Dr. Katie Edmonds (katie e) for her unanimous support by the Department of Chemistry for her promotion to the rank of Associate Research Scientist! This promotion is in recognition of her recent contributions the lab!

Max Osterberg, a rising 4th Chemistry Ph.D. student, was selected as a winner of a one-semester Kratz fellowship, which he will take in Spring 2024. The fellowship is awarded every year to a top student majoring in chemical biology in our Chemistry Ph.D. program. Congratulations!

Katherine Legg (@edgeofkatherine), a third year Chemistry (chemical biology) student and 2023-2024 John and Wendy Kindig Fellowship recipient, is officially a candidate for the Ph.D. in Chemistry.  Congratulations Katherine!! Indiana University Chemistry Department

Lots of end of year fun for the Giedroc lab! UNC Pharmacy Indiana University Chemistry Department

Our grad students Christmas elf hunting for the lab! Indiana University Chemistry Department

Our grad student Emma (Emma McRae) is at #BPS2024! Stop by their poster tomorrow (2/13) from 1:45-3:45PM (Poster B75) to learn about metal retention and tRNA modifications in A. baumannii!

Our previous graduate student, Minyong Kim, published in Biochemistry describing the physical features of A. baumannii Zur. Congratulations to Minyong and her collaborators CapdeviLAB, Tim Stemmler and his student (C. Campbell) Applebaum College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Dr. Julius Campeciño joins the group as an Assistant Research Scientist by way of his home country, the Philippines. Julius trained with Mike Maroney (UMass) and Eric Hegg (Michigan State) and brings his expertise in bioinorganic chemistry to our group. A warm welcome Julius!

Max’s paper describing the coordination chemistry, folding and extensive HDX-MS of the COG0523 enzyme, A. baumannii ZigA, was published in Biophysical Journal. Congratulations also to our collaborators Tim Stemmler (WSU) and Daniel Deredge (UMB)! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to our colleague and chemical biologist J. P. Gerdt upon his recognition as a 2024 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awardee.  Congratulations J. P.!

Max Osterberg has been awarded a Paget Travel Grant by the Department of Chemistry to attend ISM9 King's College London in June 2024.  Congratulations Max!

Dr. Britta Rued, our former IU Biology Ph.D. student, will start her independent faculty position at ISU Vet Med in August 2024. Britta was an Quantitative & Chemical Biology-Indiana University trainee and is a K99 awardee with Prof. Michael Federle’s group at UIC Retzky College of Pharmacy. reporter.nih.gov/search/9qqyJUg…

The Gied-"Rock" grad students took a rock climbing class Hoosier Heights for some summer break fun! #LabBonding #GiedrocLabRocks #ScienceRocks #ClimbingChemists 🧗

The lab was happy to see an old friend, Dr. Zhen Ma, who was one of the group's original graduate students to make the move from Texas A&M to IU! After a post-doc with John D. Helmann, Zhen moved to industry where he currently works at Merck studying Bacillus expression systems.

Thanks to Quantitative & Chemical Biology-Indiana University for a great retreat this year! Congratulations to our graduate student katherine for winning best poster! And a very special thanks to Dr. Jeremy Baskin (Jeremy Baskin) and Dr. Karin Musier-Forsyth (Karin Musier-Forsyth) for their fantastic keynote talks!

Giedroc lab trip to the polls! Indiana University Chemistry Department #chemistswhovote
