- Publication! Congrats to Kassidy, Kristy, Amanda, and Marielle!
Congratulations to the whole group and particularly to Kassidy, Kristy, Amanda, and Marielle on their new publication, "Equilibrium interactions of biomimetic DNA aptamers produce intrafibrillar calcium phosphate mineralization of collagen" in Acta Biomaterialia! This has been a work in progress for a long while and is our first foray into ... read more - Sydney Marshall ’24 – Spring Cleaning!
With spring in the air and the end of the semester right around the corner, Sydney has been reminiscing about her work in synthesizing fluorescent solid-lipid nanoparticles. As she condenses and packs up her past experiments, she has been looking back at all the skills that GRAB lab has taught ... read more - ACS 2024 – Sharing our research!
The entire group did an amazing job sharing our work with the chemistry research community at the American Chemical Society conference in New Orleans! We contributed to our chemistry community, learned a lot from other researchers, and were a little overwhelmed by hanging with so many chemists at the same ... read more - ACS 2024 – Experiencing New Orleans!
On Saturday, the GRAB Lab arrived in NOLA! As it was the day before St. Patrick's Day, the French Quarter was a pretty wild scene but we were able to safely see some sights, eat some beignets, and hear some great music. The post ACS 2024 – Experiencing New Orleans! ... read more - Donalissa Alphonse ’24 – Plotting and Scheming
Donalissa has been keeping herself busy by preparing for the upcoming ACS conference (National Meeting of the American Chemical Society!) in March. After hours of creating graphs and designing schemes, she can finally see her poster coming together. Although Donalissa has enjoyed working on her poster, she is eager to ... read more - Hailey Young ’23 – Snow Day? Snow problem!
Snow Day? Snow problem! After a not-so-snowy snow day last Tuesday, Hailey’s back in the lab running experiments for the week! She’s finishing up her work with DNA origami by testing different concentrations and types of cations in her annealing buffer to see how they interact with both the origami ... read more - Dr. Gerdon and Science Fair Season
Dr. Gerdon got to spend an awesome afternoon at Notre Dame Cristo Rey Academy with Dr. Gian Grant’s sophomore chemistry classes. It’s Science Fair time and these students had great projects on really interesting topics. All had clear testable questions and exceptional experimental design focusing on at least three parameters ... read more - Kristy Ta ’24 – 24k Magic
After the long December and January break, Kristy headed straight to the lab to get started on her next project. She started her Au NP mineralization project and is excited for the outcome, it was a shaky start but there are high hopes! She’s also excited for the upcoming ACS ... read more - Happy Holidays from the GRAB Lab!
We have big goals for big experiments in 2024 but it's time for finals and then a break! The post Happy Holidays from the GRAB Lab! appeared first on Gerdon Research Group Blog. ... read more - Prima della Scala: Don Carlo

The semester is coming to an end and research is not showing Juan any mercy. In an attempt to understand what’s going on with the initial kinetics of calcium phosphate mineralization, an eight-day static experiment was conducted. Although the IR suggested mineralization occurred, QCM says otherwise. With the help of ... read more - Il ponte sullo Stretto di Messina dalle guerre puniche a oggi
- Il premio Nobel Parisi, Ipazia e il patriarcato: «Sopravvive ancora oggi nei femminicidi»
Secondo lo scienziato Giorgio Parisi l’assassinio di Ipazia «è l’esempio di una mentalità patriarcale che sopravvive ancora oggi». E la prova si trova «nei tanti femminicidi». Il premio Nobel per la fisica parla del convegno dell’Accademia dei Lincei dedicato alla «collega» vissuta ad Alessandria d’Egitto tra il V e il ... read more - 25 novembre, la manifestazione contro la violenza sulle donne
