Saman, Alyssa, and Lisa travel to California for Metals in Biology

We had an amazing week of science and fun!!!

Thank you WCC for the travel award (Alyssa!) and congratulations Saman on giving an awesome GRS talk and becoming the 2024 vice chair!!

Hot off the press!

The team has been busy - check out our latest work here and our latest work, Just Accepted at JACS!

In the O-lab we believe the data supporting that diversity and excellence go hand in hand. We welcome scientists of all ethnicities, races, nationalities, religions or lack thereof, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, neurotypes, different abilities, ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Researchers on our team come from backgrounds spanning chemical biology, biophysics, physical and anaytical chemistry, bioengineering, inorganic and organic chemistry specialties.

Interdisciplinary research, Intentional mentorship

Education & Outreach

Science does not take place in a vacuum (unless your research requires vacuum conditions!). Learn about educational and community building activities led by Olshansky and her team.
