1/19/2021Welcome Suyun, the Lab’s first PhD student!
Suyun Choi, MS, from Korea has joined the lab as a NUSC PhD student this spring. Now we know Choi is a very common surname in Korea. To label her pipettes and sample tubes, SUyun needs to come up with her “own” initials – SC is already taken!

7/31/2020Here I come!
Sangyong made a visit to NUSC’s main office at Jones to prepare for his journey as AP and PI at UConn. It was his second visit to campus since the on-site interview in February. Grabbing a box full of keys, masks, and hand sanitizers from the office, he finally opened the doors to his office, lab, and life at UConn!
