Spotlight on Elizabeth May [Gaudet Lab]
When Elizabeth May (@LizMayScience on Twitter) first arrived at MCB in 2015, she was a visiting undergraduate in the Summer Research Opportunities at Harvard (SROH) program, which enables…
Nramp is Quite Different from the Textbook Description of a Secondary Transporter! [Gaudet Lab]
Organisms must accumulate scarce nutrients from their environments to survive. This often involves moving molecules up a concentration gradient, which is entropically unfavorable. Active transport proteins embedded in…
MCO Grad Student Elizabeth May Named as Aramont Fund Fellow!
MCO graduate student Elizabeth May (G4) of the Gaudet Lab has received a fellowship from the Aramont Fund for Emerging Science Research in support of a project called…
Computing the Evolution of Specificity in Dynamic Protein Interfaces [Gaudet Lab]
As our brain develops, neurons need to connect to each other through synapses. We study a family of proteins called clustered protocadherins that help ensure that only proper…
