Collaborators

Collaborating with lots of great scientists is not only productive, but fun too. Please click on their pictures to link to their websites.

First, there's the bacterial biophysics collaboration:

Eileen M. Spain

(Professor of Chemistry, Occidental College).

Eileen is a physical chemist with interests in nanoscience and other cool stuff. She's been my mentor and collaborator for more than seven years. http://departments.oxy.edu/chemistry/faculty/spain.HTM

 

 

Megan Ferguson

(Assistant Professor of Chemistry, SUNY New Paltz).

Formerly a postdoctoral fellow in Eileen Spain's lab working on our Bdellovibrio projects, Megan Ferguson is an environmental chemist just starting at SUNY New Paltz this year.

Kathy Aidala

(Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Physics, Mount Holyoke College).

Kathy is a physicist who specializes in scanning probe microscopy. http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/kaidala/Lab/index.html

And I have great DNA collaborators too:

Mark C. Williams

(Associate Professor of Physics, Northeastern University).

Mark is a biophysicist who uses optical tweezers to study DNA. http://www.atsweb.neu.edu/mark/

Gregory Verdine

(Erving Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, and Director of Harvard/Dana-Farber Program in Cancer Chemical Biology)

Among many other fascinating and important things, the Verdine group studies base excision repair. Greg was kind enough to welcome me into his lab during my sabbatical at the Radcliffe Institute 2006-2007.

While in his lab I worked with a lot of great people, in particular 4th year MCB graduate student Charisse Crenshaw, shown here in front of the 700 MHz NMR.
