The Lab of Payne

January, 2010. From left to right: Craig, CKP, Chip, Heather, Joshua, Don and Paul.

Principal Investigator

Christine K. Payne, Ph.D.

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

Post Docs

Craig Szymanski
Craig earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Clemson University where he studied conjugated polymer nanoparticle photophysics in the lab of Prof. Jason McNeill. Craig earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. In the Payne lab, Craig will be working on multiphoton imaging and particle tracking.
Don-Ricardo Miller
Don earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Morehouse School of Medicine where he studied proteins related to circadian rhythm. Don received a B.S. in Chemistry from Morgan State University. In the Payne Lab, Don works to target optical probes in live cells.
Gerard Doorley
Ger received his Ph.D. from the University of Dublin Trinity College in Dublin Ireland where he studied DNA using time resolved IR spectroscopy.


Graduate Students

William H. Humphries IV
Chip received a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.M. in Music Performance from Ohio Northern University. Chip is using multi-color single particle tracking to determine how extracellular cargo is degraded by intracellular enzymes.


Undergraduate Students

Jairo Zapata
Jairo is a 3rd year Chemistry major. He is developing automated methods for image analysis.
Paul Park
Paul is a 2nd year Biochemistry major. Paul is functionalizing fluorescent nanoparticles for cellular labeling.
Joshua Liu
Joshua is a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering major. He is studying the photophysical properties of quantum dots.
Heather Jekot
