Andorfer Lab

Congratulations to @ghoshata96 on being named an @AmerChemSociety Division of Inorganic Chemistry Young Investigator! "To be honest, the greatest difficulty I have with Atanu is keeping up with him,” said James McCusker, Ghosh’s nominator and mentor. chemistry.msu.edu/news/25-10-gho…

"The ultrafast spinning probe will enable 1H-detection experiments, like those extensively done in solution NMR, but now in solid samples," Wang said. "This allows to rapidly access the structure if molecules, with high-resolution, in a variety of biochemical samples."

Happy to share our first detailed #protocol on "Activation of X-Succinate Synthases for Fumarate Hydroalkylation Using an In Vitro Activation Method" bio-protocol.org/e5357 published in @bioprotocolbyte

Thanks @thiemechemistry for highlighting our work on charge recognition in enantioselective opening of azetidines. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…

A huge congratulations to @VindulaAlwis on receiving a much-deserved Excellence-in-Teaching Citation at this year's All-University Awards! msutoday.msu.edu/news/2025/msu-…

This week, we're thrilled to host Prof. @MercouriK of @NUChemistry as our Max T. Rogers Distinguished Lecturer! Please join us for two lectures:

An undergraduate researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Robert Maleczka, Sandhya worked with doctoral student Darshika Singh on the project, "Exploration of Wittig Rearrangements with Seven-Membered and Five-Membered Rings."

A big congratulations to Sandhya Manivasagam, who took home a first-place award at this year's UURAF! 🎉

Congratulations to Prof. @TianAutumnQiu on receiving an @asmsnews Research Award, supported by @bruker! 🍾 If you're headed to this summer's ASMS conference, be on the lookout for Qiu Group trainees presenting posters on the team's work!

A true highlight of our week at #ASBMB25 was getting to spend quality time with Prof. Cathy Drennan of @Drennan_lab at MIT, where our PI, @MCAndorfer, did her post-doc.

Our graduate student, Shukurah Anas, gave her first-ever conference talk at #ASBMB25—the first of many to come—earning second place in the Science in a Flash competition and bringing home a win for the lab. We're so proud of our rising star!

Our graduate students and post-docs showcased Andorfer lab’s research on various aspects of X-succinate synthases; including mechanistic studies, structural analysis, and protein engineering, at #ASBMB25, contributing to the growing biocatalysis and chemical biology community!

Our undergraduate students presented their posters at #ASBMB25, sharing their exciting work with the broader scientific community. We’re so proud of these young scientists, for their curiosity, hard work, and the confidence. The future is definitely bright!

Our graduate student Anshika presenting her poster at the just ended #ASBMB25 annual meeting in Chicago!

#ASBMB25 Our graduate student Shukurah Anas had the opportunity to showcase our research at the welcome reception with other travel grant awardees of ASBMB 2025

We have four lab members presenting their posters now! Swing by to learn more about radical enzymes and all the amazing chemistry they’re involved in!!!! #ASBMB25

Please come to our poster stands to hear about our science and connect with us!!! Poster board numbers: #460, #469 #471, and #475 (Today, April 14th), #321 and #334 (Tomorrow,April 15th) #Makeitpossible
