His current work is mainly about designing silicon photonic ring resonator to improve the sensing performance and building optical sensing system for long-term pesticides detection in water.Įnxiao received his B.S.

His research interests include bio-sensors, optical sensors, silicon photonics, and microfluidics. His research is focused on silicon photonic bio-sensing techniques for medicine and environmental monitoring. My future project will be focusing on functionalization and characterization of choline phosphate through utilizing varieties of bioanalytical techniques.īio: Enxiao Luan is a doctoral candidate from UBC Biomedical Engineering department enrolled in 2015. I am excited to work on combining both chemical and biological analysis to resolve the fundamental mechanisms of significant discoveries in the field of blood research. Methods: surface characterization methods, in vitro bacterial and platelet tests.īio: After completing B.Sc degree in Chemistry at McMaster University, Ontario, I started M.Sc program at UBC in September, 2016 under the supervision of Prof. For my PhD thesis, I work on modification of platelet bag surfaces to decrease surface induced platelet damage and prevent bacterial growth under platelet storage conditions, thus extending their storage life prior to transfusion. I have always been impressed by research that improves health services and saves lives around the world. from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and worked for three years in Iran. Now, I am a PhD student from Federal University of São Carlos and I am doing a part of my PhD here in UBC under the supervision of Professor Dieter Bromme.īio: I got my Pharm. Methods: molecular docking, enzymatic assays, protein crystallography and molecular biology.īio: My name is Taynara Lopes, I am 29 years old and I am from Brazil. I graduated in chemistry from Federal University of Goiás and Master Degree in Chemistry from Federal University of São Carlos. These novel inhibitors selectively block some of the enzymatic activities of the enzyme and leave the active site intact. My current project involves the identification of novel inhibitors for cathepsin K, an enzyme implicated in osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Memorial Contributions may be made to Alive Hospice.Bio: I received my BSc from UBC in Biochemistry and Chemistry. A private family memorial will be held at a later date in Mississippi, and burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Ocean Springs, MS. The family wishes to thank the caregivers of Vanderbilt Home Health for their loving assistance the past two years, and to further thank Alive Hospice for their tender care and support of our father during his final days.

He received numerous awards and recognition over his career, including a national IR100 New Technology Award for his part in the development of an environmentally friendly process to Recover Silver from Photo Wastes. He worked as a Research Chemist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for 30 years. Posey received his Bachelor of Science from Millsaps College in Jackson, MS, and his Master of Science and PhD in Chemistry from the University of Chicago in Illinois. He is survived by his daughter Catherine Posey of Nashville, TN, son Michael Posey of Nashville, TN, daughter Joyce Posey Rust (Brad) of Hartsville, TN, and grandchildren Laura Bruce (Dustin), Ian Rust, Dylan Rust (fiancé Carmen), Franz Rust, Alma Rust, and great-granddaughter Jocelin Bruce. He was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Linda Langdon Posey, and by his parents Cleo Marie Brooks Posey and James Virgil Posey. He was born January 10, 1930, in Jackson, MS, and died April 15, 2021. Posey, Age 91, passed away peacefully at home with his family in Nashville, TN.
