We are very pleased to have Allison Didychuk return to the lab for a second summer. Allison has now completed her third year at James Town College majoring in Math and Biochemistry. She is working with Dang Van, Pooja Choudhary and Stephanie Kendall on solving the NMR structure of the N-terminal domain of the yeast pheromone G-protein coupled receptor Ste2p. Her project is funded by an NSERC Discovery Grant that has been funding the Loewen Lab for almost 6 years now. Allison is also helping write up a manuscript arising from work she carried out last year on a Plants for Health and Wellness funded project related to monitoring the effect of plant natural products on insulin secretion from pancreatic cells.
