Last week, Bradley gave a great talk titled “Cryo-EM of a Cloneable Selenium Nanoparticle” where he discussed his current work on resolving a structure of our lab’s metalloid reductase enzyme (GRLMR) using single-particle Cryo-EM. This webinar was a part of the CryoEM Current Practices Webinar series that is hosted monthly by major Cryo-EM centers across […]
On September 11th, Taylor gave an analytical literature seminar discussing the current literature surrounding contrast tools for intracellular imaging. We are proud of her hard work in putting together a great presentation!
This past weekend 26 current graduate students, alumni, family, and friends came together for the 2024 Ackerson Lab Reunion at a cabin in Fairplay, CO! We shared great food (including a 20 lb brisket smoked by Chris), drinks, games, stories, and philosophies from 15 years of the Ackerson Lab. We’re all incredibly thankful to be […]
Olivia, MaKayla, Chris, Marcus, and Addison recently attended the 2024 International Symposium for Monolayer Protected Clusters (ISPMC) hosted by Penn State University. This conference was the perfect opportunity for members of the lab to meet experts in the field from all over the world and present their research to the community. Marcus gave an excellent […]
In late June, Chris and Bradley had the privilege to attend the 3-Dimensional Electron Microscopy 3DEM Gordon Research Conference hosted in Castelldefels, Spain. The 3DEM GRC is one of the premier conferences for cryo-electron microscopy and this years’ conference title was “Bridging the Gaps Between Cell, Structural, and Computational Biology.” Chris was invited to give […]
The Waters Corporation sponsors prizes for top lightning talks at the ABRF (Association of Biomolecular Resources Facilities) 2024 Annual Meeting, featuring original research using advanced life sciences technologies. Talks are judged during the meeting, and winners receive $500. The title of Bradley’s talk was: “A Cloneable Selenium Nanoparticle Imparts Contrast in Cryo-Electron Microscopy.” From the […]
MaKayla and Tony recently attended the PICO 2024 Conference at Kasteel Vaalsbroek in Vaals, Netherlands hosted by the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy. They both gave poster presentations on their current research projects and got to attend scientific talks from notable researchers in the field of materials and life science electron microscopy. MaKayla posing […]
This week, Addison successfully completed her preliminary exam requirement to become a PhD Candidate in Physical Chemistry. The lab celebrated together with her at Avogadro’s number!
Senior undergraduate student Courtney Solomon presented her work on directed evolution of bismuth cloneable nanoparticles at this year’s CURC Showcase. We are excited to continue to have her in the lab as she pursues her master’s degree this upcoming year!
MaKayla Walker recently (4/10) passed her preliminary exam and is now a PhD Candidate. We look forward to seeing what she will do over the next several years!
