The Payne Lab

February, 2012. From left to right, Front Row: Christine, Saheli, Candace. Back Row: Steve, Umesh, Jairo, Eddy, Joseph, Kelsey.

Principal Investigator

Christine K. Payne Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Christine received an S.B. in Chemistry with Honors from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley.

Post Docs

Saheli Sarkar
Saheli earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and her M.S. from Drexel University. While at Case Western, Saheli worked in the group of Prof. Harihara Baskaran on the migration of cancer and stromal cells in microfabricated platforms. At Georgia Tech, Saheli is doing a joint post-doc with the Payne and Kemp labs, and will be studying Thioredoxin-ASK1 dynamics in redox signaling.
Steven Hira
Steve earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Florida State University. During his Ph.D., Steve worked under Prof. Geoffrey F. Strouse on imaging biomaterials for cellular delivery applications and developing biosensing devices. Currently, he is working on intracellular synthesis of conducting polymer nanowires.
Umesh Kumar
Umesh earned his Ph.D in Biotechnology from National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), affiliated with Pune University, India, under the supervision of Dr. Archana Pundle. Umesh has worked on the biological synthesis of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles and the measurement of their physical and biophysical properties. Currently he is studying the interaction of nanoparticles with cells in the presence of serum proteins.


Graduate Students

Candace Fleischer
Candace earned her M.S. and B.S. in Chemistry from Western Washington University. In the Payne Lab, she is studying nanoparticle-protein interactions.

Undergraduate Students

Hursh Sureka
Hursh is a 2nd year Chemical Engineering major who is working on new methods to label proteins in live cells.
