Next, we have Katelyn Wix, who received her B.S in chemistry from Florida State where she worked with metal flux synthesis. She has now pivoted to studying antimicrobial peptide expression in plants using mass spectrometry. Welcome, Katelyn!
Welcome to our newest graduate students! First up is Jeffrey Ocampo, who received his B.S in biochemistry from CSU Dominguez Hills where he studied marine natural products. He is returning to UNC after doing an REU in 2022, and we’re so excited to see what he does next!
Congratulations to our newest PhD, Dr. Patric Sadecki! Patric defended back in November and two of his newest papers came out in February. We'll miss all of his 'bidness' ideas, but we're excited to see the great things he'll do at Immuto Scientific!
Celebrating Evan's milestones! He just began his NSF-GRFP fellowship and published his first author review paper!!! Enjoy (free access for 50 days)! authors.elsevier.com/a/1hqdJ…

Good morning #HUPO2022! Did you know that plant-derived antimicrobial peptides have the potential to circumvent antibiotic resistance? Come learn about @KevinDCulver's fantastic work in characterizing novel AMPs from pepper plants in section CS13 today!
Huge congratulations to our amazing undergraduate student, Meredith Daughtridge, for winning the James H. Maguire Memorial Award for her outstanding academic performance AND the Tanya L R. Ellison Scholarship for her exemplary character & academic commitment! We are so proud!
Interested in a PhD from @UNCchemistry? Join us for an information session! Please share with any undergraduates searching for a home for their graduate career. #TeamMassSpec
If you're at #ASPB2022 be sure to check out @AmandaLSmythers in the quantitative proteomics session, starting this afternoon at 1 pm! Amanda will be presenting work from our recently published collaboration with @SonapandeyLab.
Leslie Hicks has been named the Sherman Fairchild Foundation Chancellor's Science Scholars Term Associate Professor! This distinguished professorship begins July 1 and is an incredible honor. Congratulations, Leslie! #TeamMassSpec @FemalesInMS
#UNC has awarded distinguished professorships to 49 faculty members from eight schools plus @unccollege. Learn more about the professors who were awarded one of the highest honors from the University unc.live/3aBL35b
Good morning #ASMS2022! Don't forget to stop by @KevinDCulver's poster this afternoon to learn more about his work using mass spectrometry to discover new families of antimicrobial peptides in Capsicum species!
