Kate Zeng Completes Her Ph.D. for “Seeking the Structural Basis of Tau Seeding”

Kate joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. Kate’s research has focused on understanding the aggregation of tau, an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) implicated in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease. She has been primarily interested in how tau can form extraordinarily stable amyloid fibrils and aims […]

Kan Tagami Completes His Ph.D. for “Instrumentation and Method Development for Efficient DNP in Electron Spin-Spin Coupled Systems”

Kan joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Since then, his focus has been on the spin physics and instrumentation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in solid state NMR. Kan’s goal has been to improve the efficiency of solid-state DNP under MAS through development […]

Khanh (Kendrick) Nguyen Completes His Ph.D. for “Investigating the Homo-Oligomerization of the Human Adenosine A2A Receptor”

Kendrick joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from the University of New Orleans. Under the direction of Prof. Michelle O’Malley (ChE) and Prof. Songi Han (DCB) Kendrick’s research focus is that of human adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), a model GPCR with a 122-residue C-terminus, on which a mutation appears to prevent protein oligomerization. […]

Tarnuma Tabassum Completes Her Ph.D. for “Applying Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Techniques to Elucidate Structure-Property Relationships in Silica-Based Surfaces”

Tarnuma joined the Han Lab in 2015 after graduating from Mount Holyoke College. Under the direction of Prof. Susannah Scott and Prof. Songi Han, Tarnuma’s research focus has been on the characterization of supported catalytic materials. By using advanced magnetic resonance techniques, including both EPR and NMR, Tarnuma investigates the structural driving forces and underlying […]

Yuanxin (Miranda) Li Completes Her Ph.D. for “Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Methods Development for Achieving High NMR Signal Sensitivity

Miranda joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from Zhejiang University, China. Miranda’s research focus at the Han Lab has been on method development of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) enhanced NMR to study complicated bio-solid systems. The bio-solid system she is probing is the tau aggregation pathway, which is associated with Alzheimer’s diseases. Miranda’s […]
