Aubrie is joining Amelia and Gage this year to organize social events for the department of Biochemistry & Biophysics.
Amelia McCue and Aubrie Weyhmiller are graduate students in Brian Kuhlman’s lab. The Kuhlman lab focuses on computational protein design including therapeutics, de novo protein design, and enzymes. Gage Leighton is a graduate student in David Williams lab in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The Williams lab studies the structure and dynamics of macromolecular complexes through protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions.
BCBP Student Social Chairs are responsible for organizing departmental and student events throughout the year such as happy hours, welcome events, and holiday parties. There are some exciting plans for the upcoming months, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox!
We want the incoming BBSP students to see our plans and encourage those rotating in our labs or interested in our programs to come join us.
