A great bunch of bioinorganic chemists spotted on a beautiful day in Rochester ☀️😎 #newgroupphoto

Congratulations Dr. Ji Won Han, the latest ⁦⁦@BrenLab⁩ PhD grad!

Outside academic related matters, Ji Won would leave small and sweet treats on a person’s desk if she saw they were tired/upset and that is a testament to her kind personality. Congratulations again, Dr. Han! You will be missed, we hope you excel in all matters ahead! 🎉🙌

A mentor and a friend to many in the lab. She gave valuable advice and insights to everyone project’s and that is one of the many testaments of her intellectual merits—

We have freshly minted, Dr. Ji Won Han, in the house!! Today we had the honor of attending Dr. Han’s thesis defense where she shared a portion of the many challenging projects she took on and excelled like it’s no big deal 💅 Ji Won has been an excellent researcher—

A great day today on the Graduate Research Symposium! Our students Alison Salamatian and Hafsa Irfan presented very nice posters on their great research and Hafsa won a recognition ⭐⭐⭐! Way to go girls 👏🏽

Congratulations to Hafsa Irfan for winning the best poster award in Natural Sciences division at the annual AS&E Graduate Symposium! We are proud and excited to see your cool research come into fruition! 🏆🥇

We are THRILLED to welcome Karishma and Alana to the Bren lab as our first years PhD students aka babies!! Can’t wait to see the exciting science they bring to the lab 🐥🧪🥼
