Summer 2004:

 Mr. Andrew Rosko

a Kalamazoo College Chemistry major (class of 2005) is planning on attending Medical School after graduation.  He conducted his Senior Individualized Project (SIP) entitled "Mapping the Interactions of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase and Calmodulin by Limited Proteolysis Followed by MALDI-TOF-TOF Mass Spectrometry" this past summer.  This work has been accepted for presentation at the 36th Great Lakes Regional Meeting of the American Chemistry Society, Oct. 17-20, Peoria, IL. Andy is also a co-author on our manuscript submitted to Biochemistry, Sep. 2004 due to his completion of some crucial experiments.

 Ms. Rachel Sherman

a Kalamazoo College Chemistry  major (class of 2005) is planning on pursuing graduate studies in Chemistry after graduation. Her SIP project entitled "Analysis of the BV2 Proteome in Response to Select Cell Activators by 2D-gel Electrophoresis and MALDI TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometry" was conducted this past summer. This work is a continuation of a project begun in collaboration with Dr. D. Blaine Moore (Kalamazoo College) this past year. Her studies have resulted in very exciting information (Manuscript in preparation). Rachel's data will be presented at the 36th Great Lakes Regional Meeting of the American Chemistry Society, Oct. 17-20, Peoria, IL.

 

Mr. Michael Winter

then a Chemistry major (class of 2006) worked in the lab this past summer as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Student Research Fellow (Kalamazoo College).  His project was entitled "Mapping Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase/Calmodulin Interactions by Limited Proteolysis using Chymotrypsin and MALDI-TOF-TOF Mass Spectrometry". His work will be presented in combination with Mr. Andy Rosko's at the 36th Great Lakes Regional Meeting of the American Chemistry Society, Oct. 17-20, Peoria, IL.
