Congratulations to former lab member Imex Aguirre Cardenas for being awarded a prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP)!! Imex will use it to support his PhD research at UC Riverside. Well done, Imex!

Congratulations to Akemi for completing her BS Biochemistry degree!! After three years as a member of our group, we are sad to see her go, but excited about her next chapter. Good luck, Akemi!

Congratulations to Karin and the Crowhurst lab for being awarded a renewal of their NIH SCORE SC3! This new phase of the research, titled “Synergy between acid stress chaperones HdeA and HdeB with clients and their key sites of activity” will allow us 4 more years of funded research!

This weekend multiple generations of Crowhurst Lab members – old and new – descended upon the Crowhurst homestead for a pool party! The turnout was not as high as previous years – there’s still a pandemic going on here, after all; we were responsible with our masks (even outdoors) but also had fun!

Brandon Thompson is the newest person to join our lab! Brandon is an undergrad doing his BA in Chemistry, but with an eye toward a future in Biochemistry. Welcome, Brandon!

Our latest manuscript has been published! The paper, with authors Imex, Dane and Karin, is in the September 2021 edition of the journal Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports. Congratulations to Imex and Dane for their first scientific publication!

Amanda Martinez, a biochemistry undergraduate student, is the newest addition to our research group. Welcome Amanda! We hope you enjoy your experience.

Congratulations to Debra, who has been awarded a CSUPERB President’s Commission Scholar Award! It provides a scholarship that will support Debra as she re-joins our lab to do research! Well done Debra!

Congratulations to Akemi for winning the department’s Weigand-Jewett Award for Outstanding Graduating Senior in Biochemistry! The award comes with a pretty decent cash prize, too. Well deserved, Akemi!

Welcome to our newest graduate student, Scarlett Shi! Scarlett completed her undergraduate degree at CSUN two years ago, and is now back for a new challenge. Welcome to the Crowhurst lab family!
