Our new PhD graduate: Dr. Stellena Mathiaparanam

A very big congratulations to Stellena who successfully defended her PhD defense today. Over the past 5 years Stellena has had two major research themes that take advantage of capillary electrophoresis (CE) separations, including (1) the targeted analysis of urinary iodide and thiocyanate for assessment of nutritional adequacy and tobacco smoke exposures in the population, and (2) the discovery of new biomarkers in sweat specimens that may improve universal newborn screening programs for cystic fibrosis (CF) infants that goes beyond impaired chloride transport.

The lab won't be the same without you but we cannot wait to see all that you accomplish.
