President

Kennadi Shumaker

Hello! My name is Kennadi, and I am a third-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!

Hello, my name is Zach Celentano and I am the vice president for the Biochemistry GRC. I am currently a third 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.
