We are happy to present Dr. Corey Herbst-Gervasoni after a wonderful thesis defense talk! We are so proud of you!

Corey presented his thesis work to fellow graduate students at Chemistry After Dark on Friday. Great job, Corey!

Lab members past, present, and honorary came out to support Corey!

The lab has been busy this month! Ann gave talks at Drew University, Emory University, and Gettysburg College, while Anna and Lauren presented posters at the 5th Philadelphia Inorganic Colloquium at Swarthmore College.

If you would like to hear more about what we do, let us know!

Ethan, our sophomore undergrad, presented his first poster at the Undergraduate Research Program (URP) Symposium on titanium (III) citrate and reactive oxygen species. Great work by him and all of the other presenters!

Corey Herbst-Gervasoni presented at the National American Chemical Society Meeting this morning, where he shared some of his work on his favorite siderophore, enterobactin, and its interactions with Ti(IV). If you didn’t get a chance to talk with him, or you have any further questions about his work or our lab’s work, let us know!

We wish Dr. Mark Zierden the best on his new Post-Doctoral position at the University of Pennsylvania! He started this week in the new lab of Prof. Megan Matthews. We look forward to seeing the great work you accomplish there.

Congrats to all Temple graduates, especially CST and Department of Chemistry grads! We had 15 chemistry PhD students graduate, including 3 inorganic students: Kayleigh Jones (Valentine lab), Mike Gau (Zdilla lab), and Ian McKendry (Zdilla lab)! Thank you all, especially to Kayleigh for her guidance and friendship in our lab.

Lauren hit another milestone for her PhD. She presented her graduate literature seminar in front of the chemistry department yesterday on lignin-coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles as a possible sunscreen. Keep up the great work, Lauren!

Kayleigh is moving on from our lab and beginning at Frontida BioPharm as an analytical chemist. It’s bittersweet, but we are proud of your hard work and wish you the best of luck! Lucky for us, she’s staying in Philadelphia!
