Happy to announce that I've defended my dissertation! I've loved my time with the Martell Group here at UW-Madison Chemistry and am looking forward to my next adventure as a postdoc in the The Soh Lab @ Stanford at Stanford University!

#TraineeSpotlight: Grace is an Electrical Eng PhD candidate. Her research focuses on tunable affinity reagents for applications in resettable sensors and dynamic range expansion. Outside lab, Grace M. Maddocks plays and watches soccer and travels. Here she is on a trip to Seattle!

#TraineeSpotlight: Yujia is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Radiology. Her research is focused on developing sensors for real-time sensing of biomolecules. Outside lab, Yujia enjoys listening to the music and travels.

#TraineeSpotlight: Zijian (ZJ) is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Radiology. He is developing a screening platform to discover biomolecular tools for multiple applications. Outside lab, Zijian Yang loves spending time with his newborn and his friends.

#TraineeSpotlight: Jenny is a second year PhD student in bioengineering. Her research is focused on developing novel antibody-based molecular switches for continuous sensing of different biomarkers. In her free time, @jennyji_1 enjoys traveling, reading, and snacking.

Excited to have a few members attending #ACSFall2024. Come check out Liwei Zheng's talk "Next-generation peptide sequencing via reverse translating peptide to DNA" during the Rising Stars Analytical Chemistry session tomorrow at 9:25am MDT in Bluebird Ballroom 2D.

#TraineeSpotlight: Steven is a PhD candidate in the Electrical Engineering department. His research encompasses design of molecular sensors and platforms for their screening and deployment. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the guitar and building Lego with his daughter.

#TraineeSpotlight: Anil is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Radiology. His research centers on thermally activated & resettable biosensing platforms. Outside of the lab, he enjoys singing, writing stories, and exploring new places.

#TraineeSpotlight: Lexie is a Chemical Engineering PhD Candidate. Her research focuses on developing novel aptamers via modified SELEX schemes and characterizing them for biosensing applications. In her free time, Lexie Adams enjoys traveling, running, and wine tasting.

#TraineeSpotlight: Edward is a postdoc who researches natural/non-natural aptamers to target analytes that can't be targeted with conventional antibodies. Outside of lab, Edward Pimentel likes to read, bake, and spend time with his wife and two daughters (photo The Lawrence Hall of Science)

Congratulations to all the 2024 NeuroTech Trainees! We are excited to see what Caoimhe will accomplish as part of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and the Mind, Brain, Computation and Technology Program. Learn about all of this year's trainees here. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/welcoming…

#TraineeSpotlight: Caoimhe is an Electrical Engineering PhD student, focusing on developing hardware for biosensor platforms. Outside of lab, she enjoys exploring new places - like on this trip to Chicago - and spending time with family and friends!

Today some of the lab is attending the Bay Area Chem Bio Symposium. We’re looking forward to learning about the best research in the area! Come check out Liwei Zheng ‘s poster if you’re here too.

#TraineeSpotlight: Haji is a Bioengineering PhD candidate. His research focuses on the screening and mechanistic investigation of small-molecule-binding aptamers. Outside the lab, Hajime Fujita (Haji) enjoys exploring new cultures. Here, he is punting along the River Cam in England.

#TraineeSpotlight: Benj is an EE PhD candidate whose work focuses on novel methods for continuous biosensing of low abundance analytes. Outside the lab Benj enjoys rock climbing and any time spent outside.

#TraineeSpotlight: Deepak is an Electrical Engineering PhD candidate. He is interested in using time-gated fluorescence for continuous molecular monitoring and point of care diagnostics. In his free time, he enjoys playing and watching chess, and tinkering with electronics.
