Looking for a Tech starting in the new year!

Welcome to the Strauch lab
​
We are a new lab using both computational and experimental methodologies to  understand, inhibit and re-purpose biological processes on the protein level. Our main focus is on how to diagnose, prevent and treat viral infections with the aim to generate new anti-virals and candidates for vaccination through protein design. While we are studying viral surface proteins principally to understand how we can target them or provide new immunogens, we also seek to shed light on how protein chemistry is involved in making viruses so successful. Viruses and their surface proteins hold the molecular keys for identifying specific host cells, entering them and re-programming them -- much of what we will need to fight cancer. ​​

Announcements

• Shaker, PCR machine, electroporators, centrifuges and tissue culture room are all set up. We made our first batch of proteins. FPLC about to be delivered. The lab is set up! (December 2018)
• The Odin (our compute cluster) got a tower! To be precise, one made for submarines. Thanks to the donation from IT. (October/Nov 2018)
• Dr. Rhythm Shah joins the lab. Welcome! (September 2018)
• New server parts for the cluster arrived!
• The lab receives its first R01 ! (May 2018)​
