Congratulations to Rachel for being selected to the Howard Research Fellows Program for summer 2024! We’re excited to continue our work engineering thiamine-dependent enzymes for novel chemistry!
SERMACS 2023
Our lab had a great showing at SERMACS in Durham this year! Angelique, Charlie, Jose, Rachel and Sumiya all presented their work from the lab, and Nick presented on his summer REU project. I even got to present on my experience this summer participating in ACS Project SEED as a faculty mentor. Several other Campbell chemistry students presented as well! We had a great time and are definitely Campbell Proud (if you couldn’t tell by our matching polos)!
Promotion to Associate
Just found out that I was promoted to associate professor! Excited to continue to grow and develop in my career as I work to help my students achieve their goals! Looking forward to all the years ahead!
Summer Research Fun 2023
Great job to Rachel (part of Campbell’s Howard Research Fellows Program) and Jose (part of ACS Project SEED) on their summer research projects which capped off with a couple great presentations. A little sad that the summer fun is over but excited to pick things back up again this semester!
Jose crushing it in lab as usual.
ACS Project SEED Symposium was a success. Really cool seeing the work of these impressive high school students from all over the triangle.
Rachel capped off the summer at the Howard Research Fellows Poster Session with a great presentation.
Graduation 2023
Congrats to Ryan, Stephanie, Olivia and all other graduating chemistry and biochemistry students! You’ll be missed but we’re excited to see what your future holds!

Dean's Award for Excellence
It’s an incredible honor to have been selected as the recipient for the 2023 College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s Award for Excellence! I am humbled and proud to serve my students and colleagues. It truly is the best job in the world.
Wiggins Symposium 2023
Great job to Charlie, Nick, and Olivia on their poster presentations at Campbell’s Wiggins Symposium today! Charlie and Nick both won awards in the “Merit” category for Undergraduate Poster Presentations! The Chemistry department did great as a whole, with four awards overall. Check out the full list here: https://library.campbell.edu/symposium/
We all had a great time!
New and old lab members unite!
The award winners!
Howard Research Fellows 2023
Congratulations to Rachel on being awarded the Ester Howard Student Research Fellowship for 2023. Looking forward to doing some great work together this summer engineering thiamine-dependent enzymes!

ACS Indianapolis 2023
Ryan did a great job presenting his research on engineering thiamine-dependent enzymes at the ACS meeting in Indianapolis this week! We had a great time exploring the city, hearing about some cool science, and trying (unsuccessfully) to find pancakes for dinner. Definitely feeling inspired to get back to lab!
ASBMB Accreditation
Our biochemistry program was just awarded accreditation by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology! While we knew our program was great all along, it’s nice to have confirmation of that fact by the ASBMB. It’s been an honor and privilege to lead our program’s application efforts, and great to see the hard work of our faculty recognized.
