Postdoctoral Researchers

 * Nousheen Hamid Bhat, Ph.D. is developing new methodologies for discovery of novel ClpXP substrates.
 * Laura I Francis, Ph.D. is studying how DNA replication and protein degradation are linked.

Graduate students

 * Joanne Lau (Graduate Student, Micro Program) is currently identifying regions of ClpXP regulators critical for their function.
 * Keith Rood (Masters Student, BMB) is using structural/biochemical tools to discover how regulators of ClpXP interact with their targets.
 * Robert Vass (Masters Student, MCB) is discovering how phosphorylation affects regulators of ClpXP activity.
 * Keith Ballard (Graduate Student, MCB) is a rotation student.
 * Jing Liu (Graduate Student, MCB) is a rotation student.

Undergraduate students

 * Claudine Mapa (class of 2012, BMB major) is working on understanding how protein degradation couples developmental decisions and environmental cues.
 * Amber Cantin (class of 2011, BMB/Micro major) is uncovering the molecular mechanisms of regulated degradation by ClpXP.
 * Patrick Stoddard(class of 2012, BMB major) is understanding cells how cells respond to and produce environmental cues.
 * Martin Susskind (class of 2012, BMB major) is defining the minimal components needed for regulated degradation of ClpXP substrates.
