Lab Members:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sydney Bell USA<\/strong>
\nSydney grew up in Virginia, and completed her BSc in Chemistry at UBC with a focus on analytical chemistry and agricultural sustainability. She is currently pursuing her Master\u2019s in Chemistry with the Jetter Lab. Her main passions in research are in novel compound identification with GC-MS and crop drought resistance. Outside the lab, she enjoys inventing new recipes in her kitchen (to varying success) and exploring outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Madison Kelly CAN<\/strong>
\nMadison grew up in Comox on Vancouver Island and completed her BSc in Chemical Biology at UBC. She began her MSc in Chemistry with the Jetter lab in September 2023. Her research focuses on identifying specialized compounds in the wax cuticles of Lonicera <\/em>species in the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae) using GC-MS analysis. She is using this chemical data to inform possible biosynthetic pathways of these waxes. In her spare time, Madison loves playing sports \u2013 especially disc golf and soccer \u2013 as well as playing board games, reading, and listening to music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dwiti Mistry CAN<\/strong>
\nDwiti is a second year chemistry PhD student in the Jetter lab. She did her undergraduate studies in Biomedical Sciences at University of Waterloo, where she had a great time learning a bit of everything. Currently, she\u2019s studying the cuticular wax composition of three species that are specific to the Pacific to try and find clues that could give insight into their secondary alcohol compound biosynthesis. When she\u2019s not in the lab, you’ll usually find her running, eating chocolate, or in California.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yulin Xi CHN<\/strong>
\nYulin is from Beijing, China, and did her undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta in Immunology and Infection. In the last year of her undergrad, she found she preferred chemistry over immunology, bringing her to the Jetter Lab. Currently, she\u2019s focusing on analytical chemistry based on gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). Beside research, her life is filled with music, TV series, travelling, and the Myers-Briggs personality theories.<\/p>\n

New graduate students<\/strong><\/p>\n

I welcome applications for graduate positions (MSc. or PhD). I am looking for students who have a strong interest in combining chemical or biological methods in a Chemical Biology context. Preferably, you will work on one of the projects described above, specializing on suitable plant systems or chemistries. Basic experience with analytical and\/or molecular biological techniques is very desirable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
