Undergraduate Researcher Anirudh placed in the top 3 of his division in the SEC PEER Poster Exhibition

April 21, 2017/in News /by labadmin

Anirudh is a third-year undergraduate working in Dr. John Blazeck’s team to engineer an enzyme for a cancer immunotherapy. He placed first among upperclassmen in the annual Student Engineering Council Poster Exhibition on Engineering Research. His poster, titled “Directed evolution of an enzyme to fight cancer immune suppression,” outlines the team’s protein engineering techniques to develop a protein to degrade kynurenine, an immunosuppressive molecule synthesized by 11+ types of cancer.

Congratulations, Anirudh!
