Nicole Kula and Thomas McNally were one of 10 UIC students invited to present at “Posters Under the Dome” in Springfield on 5/2/19, hosted by the Illinois Innovation Network. Invited students presented their research to Illinois senators and legislators in the capitol building.

Nicole Kula, a BioS student in McGinley lab, presented her research which  challenged a misconception that is published in many Microbiology lab manuals for undergraduates that heat fixing a bacterial smear slide kills the cells within the smear. I was her adviser.

Thomas McNally, another BioS student in LaDu’s lab, presented his research which evaluated a novel Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutic in a preclinical mouse mode for the disease.
