Su Lab undergraduate students are the real salt of the earth! The lab would not function well without them.

Petros Yoon and Adaobi Nweke are assisting Mara Stewart in her search for small molecule radiation sensitizers.

Cory Sawicki and Justin Gunesch are screening for small molecules that rescue the phenotype of Drosophila TSC mutants.

Michael Philippe-Auguste is a 2009 SMART student from the University of Miami. He investigated the composition of gut bacteria in Drosophila checkpoint mutants. (SMART = Summer Minority Access to Research and Training)
