Zifan Gong PhD Candidate, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering BS, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Tianjin University, 2012 Zifan hails from China, but has already managed a road trip across the U.S. Luckily, he didn't win the jackpot in Las Vegas and instead came back to work in the lab. Outside of the lab, Zifan is honing his badminton skills, so be careful if you see him on the other side of the net! |

Parisa Moghaddam-Taaheri PhD Candidate, Bioengineering BS, Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 2013 Parisa is from just down the road in Rockville, MD. After completing a rotation in our lab, she decided she never wanted to leave--at least not without a PhD! Parisa's not-so-hidden talent is her artistic skills, which we are making sure to take advantage of. |

Janna Wisniewski BS Candidate, Bioengineering Janna joined the lab in Fall of 2014 and has quickly become well-versed in antibody screening. She may be a bioengineer, but we're happy she's ventured across the street to the Chem/Nuc Engineering Bldg. |
|
Megan Le BS Candidate, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Megan joined our lab in spring of 2015 after visiting the lab as part of the FLEXUS program. We were lucky she fell in love with the lab on that first visit! |
|
Tomer Zohar BS Candidate, Bioengineering Tomar started in the lab in September of 2015. He became interested in protein engineering after hearing a guest lecture by Dr. Karlsson in his BIOE120 course, and he will soon be able to give the lecture himself. |
