| Dr. Cheryl TelmerThe goal of our research is to build biosensors for live-cell imaging. Methods that use light to visualize protein localization and interactions can be used to investigate the dynamics of cell structure and function. Another part of my research effort is directed towards a project named Big Mechanisms in Cancer where the goal of the program is to develop technologies for automated reading of scientific literature and development of causal, explanatory models of signaling pathways in cancer.

 | Dr. Samuel DickersonDr. Samuel Dickerson is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. His research interests are in the design and modeling of nanoscale circuits and systems. Currently, he is investigating the use of electrokinetic techniques to sort, separate and analyze cells.

Lab Adventures
Penguins Stanley Cup Parade
The Penguins are the 2016 Stanley Cup Champions! The city celebrated with a parade, and we walked “dahntahn” along to avoid traffic and take part in the festivities. The real attraction was a real live penguin, courtesy of the PPG Aquarium. The cup was nice, too.
Other Pittsburgh Happenings
OpenStreets PGH
BikePGH encouraged the city to get out and move this summer by closing off three miles of streets for bikers, walkers, joggers, and skaters.
Picklesburgh
Heinz sells more than ketchup--it sells pickles, too! Pickles were the star of the show on the Rachel Carson Bridge for the weekend of Picklesburgh. Some special finds included pickle egg rolls, pickle funnel cakes, and pickle merchandise.
