News of 2007

        01 Oct 2007: The Xiao Group are happy to welcome rotation student TJ, in the Program in Computational and Molecular Biophysics. TJ has a background in physics and mathematics. He is looking forward to learning all about biology and biophysics and their respected techniques.

        27 Sep 2007: Single molecule club - Dr. Jie Xiao gave the first presentation of the Single Molecule Club, titled 'Noise in gene expression: a single molecule study of the switch'. Everyone was so absorbed in the wonderful single molecule world that a delicious cake was left there untouched.

        04 Sep 2007: We are happy to welcome Rob Sweet, a senior student at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, to join our lab as a volunteer student for his research class.

        01 May 2007: We now officially welcome Christine Hatem, our new research specialist to our group. Christine has been working in academic labs at Hopkins for the past 16 years. She brought her expertise in molecular biology and knowledge of all the ins and outs at Hopkins to our lab.

        29 March 2007: Science Day 2007 - The Xiao group welcome fouth and fifth grade students from the Hartford Heights Elementary School. The young students were excited to see bacteria glowing with different colors. Zach and Tao shared their excitement, though they seemed to need two glasses of ice water at the end of the workshops.
