3B Lab members had the opportunity to attend the North Jersey Section of the American Society for Microbiology, Theobald Smith Society Spring Meeting in 2022. Notable highlights were a poster presentation by recent PhD graduate Dr. Robert J. Tancer and a lightening talk given by Makayla Manfredi. Everyone agreed that this was a great experience and looked forward to attending in the future.
3B Lab 2021 Perspective
Despite the Ongoing issues with the COVID19 pandemic the 3B Lab had several successes in 2021. This includes the publication of two papers by Cristina as well as Akilah’s successful PhD Matriculation exam and Rob’s new paper submission.
We were also able to wrap up an industry project with NeverGerms as well as submit grant applications for two new endeavors.
The 3B Lab will continue to work hard for even greater success in 2022!

3B Lab Publishes First Review
Adam, Cristina, and Rob have published a review talking about membrane active peptides and ties together a common theme in all of their projects: how do we tackle antimicrobial resistance. Take a look!
Petersheim Symposium Goes Online!
Due to the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak the 24th Annual Petersheim symposium was held online.

Students from the 3B Lab: Makayla Manfredi, Elizabeth Boyer, Axel Martinez Gaona, and Abigail Richter presented virtual posters on Blackboard. As part of this, Abigail received a poster award for her work on Aptamers Towards the West Nile Virus Spike Protein!
While we were sad that we could not meet in person; the event was a great success! We’ll hope to see you again in person soon!
BioPharma Networking Event a Success
In March 2020 the 3B Lab was involved in hosting the first ever BioPharma Networking Group event at Seton Hall University. This event connected our current students with SHU alumni and even brought outside professionals into the Pirate community. We look forward to having many more events in conjunction with BPNG in the future. Keep a lookout for event postings on this site!
