This page contains pictures of just some of the great folks who have worked in the Blaber Lab, including Chemistry & Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences departments.
The lab provides opportunities for research training for undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Graduate students have a formal graduation ceremony, where they are "hooded" by their PhD advisor (in this case, me). So, some of the photos here are from that special ceremony.
