The Biochemistry Graduate Representative Committee, or BiochemGRC, is a graduate student organization through which students may help to shape the Biochemistry Graduate Program at IU Bloomington. The GRC can address issues of both academic and social nature that pertain to the graduate student population. The GRC is not a legislative body, but rather aims to foster cooperative and positive relationships and communication between faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students. We also seek to promote the professional development of graduate students, celebrate their academic and professional successes, and support their concerns in constructive and tactful ways.

Hello! I’m Robert, the current Biochemistry GRC President as well as a fifth year student in the Bochman Lab. I am the happy owner of a cute bunny (named Cashew)…..which is quickly making me into an expert on stain removal.

Hello! I’m Boyoon, a fifth-year Biochemistry graduate student in the Hundley lab. My research project focuses on how A-to-I RNA editing enzymes recognize dsRNA substrates in vivo by using CLIP-seq approach. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and watching K-dramas with a cup of coffee!

Hello, my name is Zach Celentano and I am the treasurer for the Biochemistry GRC. I am currently a second year in the van Kessel lab in the Biology Building studying small molecular inhibitors of proteins involved in quorum sensing in Vibrios. My free time is typically spent lifting weights and drinking excessive quantities of coffee.
Hello! My name is Kennadi, and I am a second-year graduate student in the Bochman Lab. My project focuses on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Pif1, a helicase involved in genome integrity maintenance, and the unknown function of its N-terminus. When I make it outside the lab I enjoy crocheting, lifting weights, and attending local events!
