Aaron previously worked on metabolic engineering in Hal Alper's group at UT Austin.
Our AAV engineering collaboration with David Schaffer (UCB) is published in Molecular Therapy
Congrats to David Ojala for his excellent work!
SCHEMA was used to design over 1.5 M chimeric AAV capsids. These diverse sequences displayed novel targeting of neurons.
Job Grant joins the lab as a postdoc!
Job recently finished his PhD in chemistry from the University of South Carolina where he worked with Tom Makris. Welcome to Madison Job!
Farewell to Michael :(
Michael is leaving us to start a microbiology lecturer position at IUPUC. Best of luck!
