Feels great to have reached this milestone! Really excited to continue exploring the power of biocatalysis! 🌱🧬
🎉👏🥳 Celebrating @joserhern1 who delivered a wonderful presentation and soared through his @MichiganChem gateway exam yesterday. Way to go José!!!
Excited to interact with industry folks leading the way in biocatalysis and enzyme engineering!
If you’re attending, stop by my poster during the poster session! I’d love to connect and share insights about my work in the Narayan lab.

Are you seeing double?! In the Narayan lab, Pride month is EVERY month. This year, we celebrated with the first Narayan Lab Gay Olympics! Congratulations to the #BlueTeam for winning first place and happy pride to all! 🌈🦄
Great presentation from our resident azaphilone queen!
The wonderful @KatieJaneTorma5 just gave an amazing 3rd year seminar on her work towards azaphilone natural product synthesis. We are so proud of our azaphilone QUEEN!👑
