Jean-Ju gives a keynote speaking at her alma mater, Johns Hopkins BCMB program. Visited Hopkins after more than 15 + years - some changes but also very familiar scenes of the buildings! Special feeling to come back and reconnect with my classmate, Luisa Cochella, who organized the retreat, as well as many good old faculty whose lectures I attended and meet new colleagues and students at this beautiful venue at Chesapeake Bay!
Jean-Ju got officially tenured at Yale. The lab went out to celebrate! Congratulations!!
Gillian gave a trainee presentation on her work on her work done in the lab at the platform! Jong-Nam, Cameron, Sofia had nice poster presentations!
Dr. Tianyu Zhu has joined us as a postdoctoral fellow. Welcome to the team, Tianyu!
We had nice BBQ and fun water activities!
2nd time invited speaking at European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), this time in Amsterdam, Netherland! Met a lab alumni, Tse-En at her company booth again!
Caro’s last day! Caro had a wonderful year in Chung lab at Yale! We’ll miss all about you.
We welcome Elle Stearn and Lena Zenisek to work in Chung lab as undergraduate researchers this summer! Elle is a Yale college student and Yale First-Year Summer Research Fellow under supervision of Gillian and Cameron. Lena is a U Conn honors program student and work with Jong-Nam.
Organized by Sophion. Last but not the least, a great opportunity to interact with ion channel physiologists in Japan and many other countries! First time to visit Tokyo and Tokyo University. It was fun!
Jae Yeon is doing well and his lab flourishing! A proud 3-generation (?) photo with his student taken!
Good to deliver a full one hour seminar once in a while! Was able to deliver full overview and recent development on CatSper! Beautiful Hangzhou and Zhejiang University.
While visiting 4 cities in 3 countries!
1/4 Kicking off the trip by visiting Wuhan, China to attend the 13th Symposium on Ca2+ signaling in China (SCSC) organized by Haoxing Xu and Bi Zhang. Met Dr. Erwin Nehr, the inventor of patch clamp and mentor of my postdoc mentor!
Chung lab presented foods from 5 countries (Chille, China, Germany, Korea, and USA) representing where we are from and it was a blast! “Your lab raised Dept. Happy Hour to another level!” someone told us. Certainly, the air-filled smell of pan-fried Korean pancake cooked on spot by Jong-Nam contributed to the scene quite a lot!
Time flies! With a month before her departure, she nicely wrapped her study at Chung lab by providing a wonderful talk at Dept RIP talk.
organized by Nanion at Napa Valley, California. New development of CatSper stories were very well received!
Jong-Nam delivered a very audience engaging talk! Good job!
Many questions and a lot of interests! Good job!
Congratulations, Jong-Nam!
Caro, Jong-Nam, Cameron, and Jean-Ju visited the lab of Augustina Battisone at MGH, Boston. A long but productive visit! Thanks, Augustina!
Sofia has settled well into the lab and is already contributing to make big discovery! She is a biophysical dissector of CatSper channel :)
