2021 Summer visitors

The Distefano group was fortunate to host three visitors this summer.  Holly Passetti, a chemistry and biology major from Alfred University participated in our UMN Lando/NSF program.  She worked on using peptide libraries to probe prenyltransferase specificity.  Holly is off to graduate school this fall.  Claire Hypolite and Eva Nelson, both high school teachers at Edison High School, worked on developing a high school science experiment based on the metabolic labeling work being done in the group.  They will be returning next summer!
