Massachusetts Life Sciences Innovation Day
At MALSI Day, July 21, 2022, Elizabeth DiLoreto represented our group and presented our patented work to deliver neuropeptides to C. elegans by feeding. Neuropeptides are small proteins that move between neurons to shape their activity. We have used this technology in a recent publication, Reilly, et al, 2021 Comms Bio, Figure 6D. So far this work has […]
Flashback Friday!
Here’s a throw back to June 2019, where Doug summarizes his research representing the Biology and Biotechnology department at WPI’s Arts & Sciences week. Also watch Katherine, who does worm work in our lab, present on her work in the Chemistry & Biochemistry department.
Doug the Reviewer
Doug has been selected as an Early Career Reviewer for the journal Genetics sponsored by the Genetics Society of America (GSA). This is a great start into the world of peer review that puts him in incredible company from all around the world. Click this link to find out more.
WPI Seaport Visit
Liz and Doug took a trip out to Boston to visit WPI’s new location right in the Seaport district. What a wonderful time to connect with the WPI community and those attending the BIO International Conference right down the road. We can definitely see how this awesome new locale will foster lots of connections! Hope […]
Lab Visit with Philippines Educators
We had some special visitors in lab yesterday. Coordinated by Mia Dubosarsky at WPI’s STEM Education center, our guests from the Philippines represent teachers from STEM high schools and the Department of Education. In lab we were able to show them around and do a brief activity with them, demonstrating the power of C. elegans and the importance […]
Launch Biology 2016
Last week, we wrapped up teaching Launch Biology Summer Camp for 2016. This year we had 20 9th and 10th grade students participate in the camp; 7 male and 13 female students. They were a bright and intelligent group, with a true enthusiasm to learn about biology and biotechnology. We were able to complete several experiments, […]
Welcome Summer Researchers!
Today marks the first day of our summer researchers coming into the laboratory. We would like to welcome, Anish Warty, Chinmaya Kale, Amee Desai, and Pratik Bharadwaj to the Srinivasan Lab! The students will be here for about 2 months this summer aiding our graduate students with experiments, and learning about how to operate and […]
Srinivasan Lab Participates in Annual Touch Tomorrow Event
On June 11th, the lab joined forces with Dr. Dirk Albrecht’s lab to host an exhibit at WPI and NASA’s annual science and technology fair: Touch Tomorrow. The exhibit featured live C. elegans and visitors could observe and learn with them through hands on microscopes. The community was also introduced to the scientific tools that are […]
Launch Biology 2015!
This summer, Dr. Srinivasan was asked to teach the week long summer camp program called Launch Biology. Doug and Laura were brought onto the team in order to help as TAs for the program. This summer camp is hosted by WPI for one week every summer in August and welcomes 20 upcoming 9th and 10th […]
MassBioEd May 2013
This past May, the Srinivasan Lab participated in the annual MassBioEd futures day where high school-aged students from local area schools come to the LSBC at WPI and get to experience life science related college majors and careers. The Srinivasan Lab did a mini-experiment with the students where they got to explore how C. elegans […]
