The Colors of Chemistry
Label The Colors of Chemistry Artist Ashley Arcidiacono Description In the Hanson Group, we rely on dyes that absorb many colors of light. Here, you see a column (a separation technique that leverages polarity to separate side products in organic reactions) for a target BODIPY dye. BODIPY dyes are extremely fluorescent and can be used…

Colored Bodies
Label Colored Bodies Artist Sadia Sayed Description Our lab mainly focuses on the organization and maintenance of chromatin on the inactive X chromosome (Xi). We use gRNA mediated gene deletion, exploiting CRISPR/Cas9 system to delete specific gene of interest from primary cell line. In this image, a technique called FISH (fluorescence in-situ hybridization) is used…
