🎓 Congratulations to Dr. Leslie Kendrick! 🎓

We are excited to celebrate Dr. Kendrick on the successful defense of her Ph.D., “Biomarker-Based Evaluation of Concussion Recovery in Youth Athletes.”

Her research explores how blood-based biomarkers can improve the detection and monitoring of concussions in young athletes. Focusing on key proteins like UCH-L1 and pTau, her work highlights their potential to track recovery and support more personalized care. She also demonstrates the promise of KinExA, a highly sensitive method that may provide more precise and reliable biomarker detection than traditional approaches.

Dr. Kendrick’s work represents an important step toward better understanding and managing concussions in youth. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!

👏 Please join us in Congratulating Dr. Leslie Kendrick on this outstanding achievement!

🎓Congratulations to Dr. Krystal Sosa! 🎓

We are excited to celebrate Dr. Krystal Sosa on the successful defense of “Inactivation of Viral Pathogens Via Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma: A Molecular Study.”

Dr. Sosa's research explores Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAP) as a promising antiviral approach, showing its ability to reduce viral activity through Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS). The work demonstrates CAP’s effectiveness against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, including HSV-1, and highlights its potential to reduce infection in corneal tissue models.

👏 Please join us in Congratulating Dr. Krytal Sosa on this outstanding achievement!

🎉 Celebrating an Incredible Achievement! 🎉

Congratulations to Jasmine Baclig, a first-year doctoral student in Biomolecular Sciences and Boise State alum (B.S. Chemistry, 2025), on earning the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP)!

A first-generation student born in the Philippines and part of the Boise community since 2016, Jasmine conducts research in Professor Konrad Meister’s lab, where she studies bioactive proteins with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Her work explores the fundamental chemical principles that govern protein stability—an essential step toward advancing therapeutic, food science, and environmental applications.

Using biophysical tools like spectroscopy, Jasmine investigates how these proteins behave under different conditions, bringing together chemistry, biology, and physics in an interdisciplinary approach.

👏 We are proud to celebrate Jasmine’s achievement and excited to see the impact of her research!
