• 4/22/08:  Jeff Savard defended his thesis entitled "Micellar and Chromatographic Media Surfactant-Based DNA Analysis and Purification." Jeff accepted a research scientist position at Merck & Co.
   
• 3/31/08:  Jim Schneider delivered one of two invited lectures at the Herbert D. Doan Endowed Nanotechnology Symposium at the University of Michigan.  The event was sponsored by
  M-NIMBS, a multidisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, engineers, and biologists collaborating on nanoscience in biology and medicine at Michigan.
   
• 5/4/07:  Shane Grosser defended his thesis entitled "Separation of Hydrophobically Modified Nucleic Acids in Capillary Electrophoresis."  Shane accepted a research scientist position at Merck & Co.
   
• 9/1/05:  Shane Grosser has been selected to receive a Dowd Fellowship from the CMU College of Engineering.  This year’s Fellows were selected based on the innovative nature of their projects, the ability of their research to support the ICES mission of fostering a multidisciplinary research environment, and the likelihood that their research may facilitate government and industry support in future years.  His project is entitled "Microchip Processing and Enrichment of Nucleic Acid Samples using Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography."
   
• 5/21/05: Congratulations to Bruno Marques, who received a Best Poster award at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (Colloid and Interface Science Division).  Bruno has successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis and accepted a position as Research Scientist at Merck & Co.
   
• 5/31/04:  Congratulations to Jim Vernille and Ijeoma Nnebe who successfully defended their Ph.D. theses this spring.  Jim has accepted a position at Bristol-Myers Squibb and Ijeoma will be working as a staff scientist at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center.
   
• 1/29/04:  Jeff Savard has received an NIH training grant for his thesis work.  Jeff is one of the first from CMU to participate in this joint Pitt-CMU program, which includes in-depth biology coursework and an internship experience.
   
• 10/22/03:  Congratulations to Ijeoma Nnebe, who received a PPG Fellowship for her thesis work.  Ijeoma has been developing dynamic AFM methods for the characterization of colloidal and biological forces.
   
• 6/27/03:  Congratulations to Jim Vernille, who received the award for Best Student Presentation at the 12th International Conference on Biopartitioning and Purification, held in Vancouver.  His presentation was titled "Surfactant-Based DNA Purifications for Genomic Processing and Biotechnology."
