Research in Bio-organic Chemistry
Congratulations Miya!
We are proud to announce that Miya successfully completed her M.Sc. exit seminar! Miya has been with us since her fourth year of undergrad, exploring NahK-mediated metabolic oligosaccharide engineering with N-azidoacetylglucosamine derivatives in E. coli. We wish her the best of luck as she embarks on the next chapter of her academic journey, pursuing a PhD in Denmark! view |
Spooky Nails 😈
Spooky Tellurium nails and the cursed peptide haunt the Nitz lab!💅 by Stephanie view |
Congratulations Dr. Eddenden!
Join us in congratulating Alex for passing his defence! view |
Alex is giving his FOE Seminar on Sept 25th
Our very own Alex is defending in approximately two weeks! Here are the details:
Title: Probing for N-acetylglucosamine in the Glycans of Escherichia coli Date: September 25th, 2023 at 9 am EST Location: Davenport East Seminar Room, LM Building Remote Meeting ID: 864 2288 3168 (https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/86422883168) Passcode: 173090

Best of luck, Helen!
Today was Helen's last day of working with us. Since joining the lab in 2021, she worked on the development of tellurium-based mitochondrial probes for mass cytometry. She gave her MSc exit seminar in April 2023, then stayed with us for a little longer as a research associate to wrap up her work. Thanks Helen, for always being helpful and supportive. We all (Prof Nitz, the members, and the Biotage) will miss you very much!!! view |
