Back row: Brad Hersh '94, back from MIT to
present his research on C. elegans; Chris Kirkpatrick, research associate;
Prof. Slonczewski, NSF-funded research on E. coli and Helicobacter
molecular biology.
Front row: Sule Sidigu '03, Seena Mathew '02, Cat
Beck '02. Supported by HHMI
1996. .
Brad Hersh completed his PhD at MIT with Nobel laureate
Bob Horwitz; now he studies fly wings on postdoc at UW-Madison.
 Judy Phillips '00 won the Tomsich Award for her published studies of pH-regulated genes in Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori. She found that anti-oxidant proteins such as AhpC are induced by acid. She went to Cornell veterinary school. |

Dani Barstad '97, Junior Honors, studying Mycobacterium marinum at the
Rocky Mountain Lab, Hamilton, Montana.
She spent a year growing crystals for X-ray analysis, then went to
dental school.
Chris Cave '96, completing thesis on the pilin operon lpf, in Salmonella.
Here's an EM of virulence pili on his strain; photomicrograph obtained by
Fred Hayes at RML.
Lisa Lambert '96, completing thesis on the global response
to benzoate at low pH, in E. coli. She ran her
first 2D gels at Fred Neidhardt's lab; now we run 2D'sat Kenyon.
Published in Journal of Bacteriology, 1997.
Farees Farooq '96, physiological characterization
of a new acid resistance gene, xasA.
Published in Journal of Bacteriology, 1996.
Farees Farooq is now a physician at University Hospitals of Cleveland.
Devin Johnson '98, Sarah McGeorge '98, and Grant Schulert
'00. All studied extreme pH-induced
genes this year. Grant used "arbitrary PCR" to obtain flanking sequence;
he got the technique
to work here for the first time, with help from alumnus Erik
Zinser '94.
