Juah Chung
Current Lab Members
Graduate Students
Partha Banerjee, 2007-Present
Partha is a 2nd year graduate student at the Department of Chemistry, PhD program. His research includes metabolic labeling of viral proteins with unnatural amino acids and sugars and their subsequent modification by bioorthogonal chemistry to generate efficient viral vectors.
Yanjie Chu, 2008-Present
Yoonhyeun Oum, 2008-Present
Yoon has been a member of the Carrico group since 2008 spring as a graduate student. He received M.S. in Chemistry from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology) in 1995 and worked for LG chem & Life Sciences as a researcher and manager until 2007. He is working on the project of remodeling adenoviral surface to overcome limitations of gene therapy vectors.
Lakshmi Rajaram, 2007-Present
Lakshmi is a second year student in the Chemistry Phd program. Her research involves the study of O-linked glycosylation or O-GlcNAcylation of nuclear and cytosolic proteins using metabolic labeling with unnatural sugars followed by analysis with proteomics techniques. This has applications in the discovery of biomarkers for diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
