A close colleague of Dr. Kisailus and highly esteemed professor from the University of Illinois, Prof. Marianne Alleyne, visited UCI in June. She was given a tour of the many laboratory facilities on campus and reinvigorated some potential collaborations between the BNML and her ABC lab. Professor Marianne Alleyne gave a very insightful seminar to members of the MSE department about the work her lab has been doing recently. We enjoyed their company and hope they visit again soon!
