First paper, fellowship news, and more!

First publication: In the first publication out of the Chung Lab, Antonis Margaritakis has published in Communication Chemistry on a novel tool to rapidly assess binding of protein motifs to membrane surfaces. The platform allows researchers to quickly screen how proteins recognize and bind to different membrane compositions, a process that previously required hours of painstaking low-throughput measurements.

Fellowships: Dr. Gabrielle Abraham and Antonis Margaritakis have been awarded the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Postdoctoral Bridge Fellowship and the Second Century Myronis Fellowship, respectively; congratulations to both!

New members: Chemistry PhD students Lesley Salceda and Eulalie de Souza have joined the Chung lab; welcome!
