Your Lab

Use this section to tell us about your laboratory. Where is it located? What sort of equipment do you use every day? Have you decorated it for the summer? How do you look wearing a lab coat? Take pictures! Show off your space!

Our lab was situated on the ground floor of the Technological Institute at Northwestern University's Evanston campus. Thanks to the generosity of Professor Mordacq, we were able to use the Biological Sciences Department's lab space for the entire summer and the fall. The majority of our characterization assays were done in the facilitating Tyo lab.
