Beckman: Arts and Sciences @ Syracuse University
Korrie Mack #39;s first experience in a research lab involved unpacking boxes, organizing benches, assembling equipment, and labeling countless drawers to help a new faculty member set up his laboratory during the fall of 2011. A year later, the senior biochemistry major in Syracuse University #39;s College of Arts and Sciences, is cloning and purifying proteins, identifying their properties using mass spectroscopy, and carrying out her own research in the area of protein-based biological sensors. Mack and Manu Arul, a junior biophysical science major, are SU #39;s 2012 Beckman Scholars. Funded by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, the highly competitive program supports select students interested in chemistry, biochemistry, and the biological and medical sciences. Beckman Scholars receive $19300 in financial support over two summers and a full academic year for laboratory research, scientific meeting travel funds, and research supplies. Mack and Arul are now halfway through their Beckman Scholars program. They spent the summer of 2012 working in research labs and will continue working on their projects through the summer of 2013. Mack works in the laboratory of Ivan Korendovych, assistant professor of chemistry; Arul works with Liviu Movileanu, associate professor of physics and director of the Biophysical Science Program in The College of Arts and Sciences. Both students are studying the potential of proteins for use as biological sensors, but they approach the topic from ...From:SyracuseArtsSciencesViews:0 0ratingsTime:06:20More inEducation
