Ian awarded an NIH F32 postdoctoral fellowship!

Congratulations to DGL post-doc Ian Bakanas for receiving the prestigious F32 NIH Individual Post Doctoral Research Award for his proposal, "De novo design of photoacid-binding proteins to study proton dynamics in biological systems"! The award will fund Ian's work on building model protein systems that can be used to study complex biological phenomena, by designing proteins that bind synthetic photoacids as a means to experimentally observe proton transfer dynamics in proteins.
