Shaun helped with the synthesis of compounds for photophysical studies. He will be attending medical school at the University of Miami.

Dan is interested in synthesis of molecules for biological application. He will be attending graduate school at University of Texas, Austin for chemistry.

Justin is interested in applying chemistry tools to solve biological problems.

Brendan made derivatives of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole, which belong to a class of compounds that may be endowed excitation-dependent emission properties. 

Brandon studied a new class of solvatochromic fluorescent compounds during his 10-week stay. 

Nia worked on the synthesis of 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles and 5,5'-bis(1,2,3-triazoles).

Grant learned mammalian cell culture and fluorescence microscopy. He was also responsible for maintaining the bio labs.

Zach helped Miguel synthesize zinc-sensitive fluorescent indicators. He also did subcloning, which contributed to Miguel's projects. He was a co-author on the paper describing anilinyl-containing zinc indicators

Anna spent 10 weeks with us in 2017. She was the major contributor to developing the synthetic route of arylenevinylene-substituted 2-hydroxyphenyl benzoxazoles.
