Welcome, Jaymes Quinn!

We're glad to have Jaymes join us this summer from UMass Amherst as part of Syracuse University Biology Department’s MicroFFABS REU program.

Jaymes will be investigating how specific centrosome proteins contribute to the function of the Left-Right Organizer — the embryonic structure responsible for establishing the asymmetric arrangement of the internal organs. It's a fascinating question that sits at the intersection of cell biology and developmental patterning, and we're excited to see where the work leads.

Welcome to the lab, Jaymes — we're glad to have you here!

Heidi Hehnly awarded James K. Dual-Agyeman Award for Outstanding Faculty

It was humbling to be awarded by the Center for Academic Achievement and Student Development, which houses Higher Ed Opportunity Program, Student Support Services, McNair Scholars Program, the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program, and the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, the James K. Dual-Agyeman Award for Outstanding Faculty. The award is given in recognition of outstanding faculty and staff of the Syracuse and campus community who fully embrace the mission and vision of CAASD through collaborative programming initiatives and service. Much like the individual for whom the award is named, recipients are chosen who demonstrate their commitment to the development, training, and preparation of the next generation of university scholars.

It is a pleasure to work with the next generation of scientists and I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to do so.
