The lab turned one! Time flew by, and so much has happened! So proud of all the awesome scientists that make the lab a fun place to work!

Had a fun time painting pumpkins and marking milestones at the annual Molecular Medicine Halloween party!

Sardana lab had a blast hosting Dr. Manu Prakash from Stanford for the Barbara McClintock Life Science Lecture and Foldscope workshop at Cornell!

Julia participates in the 1st Annual Biomedical & Biological Sciences(BBS)Lab Coat Ceremony as part of the 21st Annual BBS Symposium. Congratulations Julia, and welcome!

Enjoyed attending our lab’s first scientific retreat as a group- Weill retreat at Greek Peak!

Excited to have Jade and Julia as the pioneer graduate students of the lab. Welcome to the lab!!
