Lab Alumni
Spencer Jeffries
Spencer was an undergraduate Biochemistry major with a keen interest in immunology and proteomics. His research focused on determining the role of post-translational modifications in T-cell activation, aiming to uncover key regulatory mechanisms in immune response. As a dedicated student he hopes to build a strong foundation for a future in biochemical research. Spencer is now pursuing his PhD with Ryan Kelly at BYU.
Zhiyao Cheng
Zhiyao was an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Her projects focused on organoid proteomic studies to analyze the drug responses in breast cancer cells based on different estrogen levels. She is always passionate about finding innovative therapeutic strategies that bridge laboratory discoveries with real-world medical advancements...and hoping for a better place to record her dance covers (if outside of science and school).
Seth Kelley
Seth was an undergraduate student studying biochemistry. He spends most his time in the lab studying or generating phosphopeptide standards, but when he has free time he's usually busy being a chill guy. Seth is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
