Despite a big trend in the field, we will keep using electron microscopy for cell biology!

We have a new rotation student! Alexis Tomaszewski from the BCMB program. She will be characterizing a protein likely involved in ultrafast endocytosis. -4/25/2017

Dr. Imoto just joined the lab! He came all the way from Japan on the JSPS fellowship. He will be working on membrane remodeling at synapses. Welcome to the lab!

Morven is finishing up his final week in our lab. He worked really hard over the last two months. He will head back to Dartmouth to finish up his undergraduate degree and will be applying for a graduate school in this coming Fall. Good luck, Morven! We are hoping that you would come back to Hopkins for your PhD work (and before that to finish up the project :)!

At Hunan Taste. -3/17/2017

Grant Kusick has joined the lab! He did a rotation in Fall and performed brilliant experiments on vesicle fusion kinetics. He will continue on the project, aiming to reveal the structural organization and molecular mechanisms that allow mammalian central synapses to be unreliable.

Our collaborative project got funded! Really exciting!! -2/1/2017

Lauren Bules, a freshman at JHU, joined the lab today! She will be working with Alfred on heterogeneity between synapses. Welcome to the lab! -1/30/2017

A new undergraduate research associate, Eduardo Sandoval, joined the lab! He will be working with Sumana to characterize presynaptic membrane dynamics. Welcome!! -1/11/2017

Shigeki wins Morphological Sciences Award from the American Association of Anatomists! He will be presenting his work at the annual conference in Chicago. Congratulations! -1/4/2017

Morven Chin, an undergraduate visiting scholar, will be working in the lab for the next two months! He comes from Dartmouth College. Welcome, Morven! -1/4/2017
