Congratulations to Andrew Olsen, Liming Yin, Roni Barak Ventura, and ChingYao Yang on the Publication of Their Paper
Congratulations to PhD Candidates, Andrew Olsen and Liming Yin, MS Student, Roni Barak Ventura, and Montclare Lab Alumnus, Dr. ChingYao Yang, on the publication on their paper in Molecular Biosystems. The paper analyzes the impact of the phenylalanine residues on the surface of the phosphotriesterase (PTE) enzyme. The work was a collaborative effort with Prof. Richard Bonneau, Dr. P. Douglas Renfrew, and Leif Halvorsen from the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology. You can check out the article under the publications tab.

GalleryAndrew Olsen & Priya Katyal Participate in Inaugural I-Corps Sites Program at NYU Tandon
PhD Candidate, Andrew Olsen, and Post Doctoral Associate, Priya Katyal, participate in the NSF I-Corps Sites program hosted at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. They followed the lean launchpad methodology to understand potential markets for the engineered phosphotriesterase (PTE) developed in the lab. They were awarded modest funding to continue their customer discovery efforts following submission for of an NSF style proposal. You can read more about the program here. You can also view their lessons learned video on YouTube.
