May 2007: Congratulations to Joe Loparo on being named a Jane Coffin Childs Fellow! This prestigious fellowship will allow him to pursue a number of exciting research directions during the next few years.
February 2007: Joe Loparo has joined the group as a postdoctoral fellow. After having studied the dynamics of water using ultrafast laser spectroscopy during his graduate studies at MIT, he will now venture into the wonderful world of single-molecule biophysics.
September 2006: The first Van Oijen lab member is preparing to leave the nest... JB Lee is offered an assistant professor position from the Physics Department at Pohang University of Science and Technology in Korea. Congratulations, JB!
September 2006: Anna Kochaniak (Biophysics graduate program) has joined the Van Oijen lab. Not afraid of biological complexity, Anna will use single-molecule techniques to study eukaryotic DNA replication in cell-free extracts.
July 2006: Nathan Tanner (BBS graduate program) has joined us to pursue his PhD. Nathan will try to understand the wonders of DNA replication in prokaryotic systems using a variety of nifty single-molecule trics.
February 2006: The Van Oijen Lab has published its first paper! In the February 2 issue of Nature, Lee et al. describe how the T7 primase acts as a brake during DNA replication.
January 2006: Antoine is awarded an NSF Career Award to support the Van Oijen Lab's quest to understand the enzymatic properties of the T7 bacteriophage replication proteins using single-molecule techniques.
