Theo presented the research progress from his first year of graduate school in a poster at the ACS Frontiers in Organic Synthesis: Chemical Biology meeting in New London, CT.

Thank you Sahiti for presenting a poster on your work at both UConn’s Frontiers in Undergraduate Research symposium, and the Connecticut Valley Section of the American Chemical Society’s Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Congratulations to Ameya and all of our collaborators on this multidisciplinary paper!  Please have a look at the open access paper at Nature Communications.

Annalena has successfully defended her masters thesis.

The Kienzler lab is happy to welcome new graduate students Theophilus Frempong and Michael Piekarsky into the lab.  Welcome to the team!

Prof. Kienzler gave a presentation and ran a lab on molecular photoswitches for high school teachers certified with the UConn Early College Experience.  Read more about it here.

The Kienzler lab is pleased to welcome two new undergraduate researchers, Sahiti Bhyravavajhala and Kathryn Wilkinson, into the lab! We look forward to working with you.

Congratulations to Anwesha on a well defended thesis!

A visit to the Palty lab at the Technion in Israel was possible through our joint NSF/BSF grant. Anwesha finally had a chance to meet and talk science with graduate students in the Palty lab.

Here, Maya is showing Anwesha how she tests her CRAC channel photoswitch inhibitors.

A big thank you to Guillaume Sandoz and his lab at the University of Nice (Institute de Biologie Valrose) for hosting Dr. Kienzler and showing off so much cutting edge science.

Here, graduate student Arnaud is showing Prof. Kienzler how he records electrophysiology traces while photoswitching one of our compounds.
