Thomas Grant
tgrant@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: B.S. in Mathematical Physics, University at Buffalo.
Lab affiliation:
Dr. Snell
Research Interests: My research focuses on the development of Small Angle X-ray Scattering in conjunction with X-ray diffraction to study protein complexes in solution as well as using SAXS to study proteins that are recalcitrant to crystallization.

maharaj Kevin A. Maharaj
km224@buffalo.edu
Degree: B.S. Biochemistry, Binghamton University
Lab affiliation: Dr. Gewirth
Research Interests: Structure/Function relationships in hsp90 chaperones; protein folding and secretion.

Zachary Miknis
716 898-8664
zmiknis@hwi.buffalo.edu

Degrees: B. S. Biology & B. A. Philosophy, University of Scranton
Lab affiliation: Dr. Schultz
Research Interests:My research focuses on the dimerization interface, RNA binding surface and biological role of non-structural protein 9 from the SARS coronavirus. Additionally, I am interested in host-virus protein contacts between infected cells and SARS-CoV, specifically those between the Orf6 protein of SARS and human karyopharin alpha 2 (a nuclear import protein).
mitchell Carter A. Mitchell
716 898-8645
cmitchell@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: B.S. Biochemistry, Texas State University
Lab affiliation: Dr. Gulick
Research Interests: Structural Studies of proteins involved in Quorum Sensing and iron acquisition in biofilm forming bacteria.
seidler Paul Seidler
pseidler@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: M.S. Multidisciplinary Studies - Chemistry & Biology, B.S. Forensic Chemistry, Minor in Biology, Buffalo State College
Lab affiliation:
Dr. Gewirth
Research Interests:I am researching grp94, an ER chaperone homologous to hsp90. My present efforts involve characterizing its interaction with co-chaperones and client proteins.
sundlov Jesse Sundlov
jsundlov@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: B.A. Biology, John Hopkins University
Lab affiliation: Dr. Gulick
vecchio Alex J. Vecchio
716 898-8684
avecchio@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: B.S. Biology, The Rochester Institute of Technology
Lab affiliation: Dr. Malkowski
Research Interests: "X-ray crystallographic structure & functional analysis of integral membrane proteins involved in eicosanoid biosynthesis. Specifically, the formation of prostaglandins, leukotrienes & lipoxins from 20-carbon
polyunsaturated fatty acid precursors via the regulatory enzymes cyclooxygenase & lipoxygenase. This research has pharmacological
applications in tissue & organ biology; inflammation, pain & arthritis;
Alzheimer's & Parkinson’s disease; cystic fibrosis & cancer."
wunsch Kristin Wunsch
kwunsch@hwi.buffalo.edu
Degree: B.S. Bioengineering, Syracuse University
Lab affiliation: Dr. Snell
Research Interests: I am studying the process of radiation damage in metalloproteins. Specifically, I am interested in the roles that the metal cofactor and the environment play in the amount of damage that occurs during X-ray data collection.
