Welcome to Naomi and Chris!

Naomi Genuth (from Biology) and Chris Probert (from Genetics) have decided to join us for their spring rotations.  Welcome, Naomi and Chris!

More lab firsts!

Kara Brower and Robert Puccinelli successfully designed, fabricated, and tested the lab's first new microfluidic device, shown here in all of its glory:

This event, in turn, was celebrated by the lab's first consumption of fine scotch and chocolate:

A series of lab firsts

This quarter, we welcomed Kara Brower, David Morgens, and Eli Moss as rotation students in the lab.  Our equipment is finally mostly in place, meaning we were able to run our first lab gel and fabricate our first wafers.  Here's some evidence, in the form of lab selfies:

Robert Puccinelli joins the Fordyce lab!

We'd like to welcome Robert Puccinelli as the first member of the lab!  Robert recently graduated from UC Merced with degrees in both physics and biology and is joining us to work as a research technician.  Welcome, Robert!
