Clarkson Students to Deliver Oral Presentations to National Conference

Two Clarkson graduate students, Madhuri Jayathirtha and Danielle Whitham and two Biomolecular Science undergraduate students, Hannah Yorkey and Panashe Mutsengi will deliver oral at the Eastern Analytical Symposium, a national conference that will be held in Princeton, NJ, in November 2021. This symposium gathers most of the scientists with focus on chemistry from the entire East Coast.

These students work in Clarkson’s Biochemistry & Proteomics Lab, led by Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science Costel C. Darie. Both the graduate and undergraduate students are working on various projects from the cell-based functional investigation of one proto-oncogene protein called Jumping translocation protein, to breast cancer proteomics, or to malaria proteomics. In a fourth project, a student will present the optimization of sample preparation for proteomics applications.   

“It’s not common for undergraduate students to be selected to deliver oral presentations at national or international conferences,” said Darie. “So, having two undergraduate students selected indicates that their research has value. So far, we have had only two undergraduate speakers in the past. With these two, we now have four.” 

“When I attended Eastern Analytical Symposium for the first time, I was a  junior undergraduate student majoring in Chemistry at Clarkson. This conference was the one that determined me to pursue graduate school,” said Whitham.
