Congratulations Nate!
Congratulations to Nathaniel Gaut for being awarded a travel grant to present his research at SB7.0 – the Seventh International Meeting on Synthetic Biology in Singapore!
Prof. Engelhart was interviewed, along with UMN collaborator Prof. Kate Adamala, for Minnesota Public Radio’s Brains On! podcast and radio show about the first life on earth.
Fun with Nucleic Acids Introductory organic chemistry has sent many a pre-med scurrying toward an alternative career. And that’s exactly what it did for Aaron Engelhart — but not for the usual reason, and not in the usual direction. Instead of steering him away from […]
Postdoctoral Positions in the Engelhart Lab at the University of Minnesota Our laboratory studies nucleic acids, both as targets of basic research and tools to study complex biological systems. A few projects our lab is currently working on are given below: RNA imaging: GFP and […]
8/2016 update: for the most current information about our work, please see our lab’s About page. Interested prospective postdocs, please click here. In August 2016, I am starting a new research group in the University of Minnesota Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development (GCD). […]
The Astrobiology Science Conference 2015 (AbSciCon 2015) is taking place in Chicago, IL from June 15-19, 2015. I am coorganizing (with Andrew Pohorille) a session on the early evolution of compartmentalization, with particular interest in how it coevolved with metabolism and heritable polymers. Researchers wishing […]
