But for now, enjoy your trip back to India and Borneo!

PS: Yes, we’ll also keep you updated on when and where the next lab dinner is going to be.

Chaoyou Xue Heads to Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (CAS) to Begin Independent Career

Today we bid a socially-distanced farewell to Chaoyou Xue, who heads back to China to start his independent scientific endeavors at the TIanjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (TIB), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Chaoyou maintains the unofficial Greene lab record for the number of flow cell experiments in a single day. We wish him all the best as he embarks on the path as a principal investigator and eagerly await exciting publications from the Xue Lab.

Sy Redding wins UCSF Sandler Fellowship

From the program website: "The UCSF Sandler Fellows Program brings exceptionally promising young scientists to UCSF in a special capacity, in which they establish independent research programs with the sole mandate to do their best science. Fellows are small group leaders with Principal Investigator status in the University, which enables them to obtain extramural grants to support the growth of their programs, and thus are of a special class of "Faculty Fellows" markedly distinct from traditional postdoctoral fellows."
