Emma Gehlbach

I am a fourth year undergraduate studying neuroscience. I have previously worked in clinical research as a coordinator for the COPDGene study and am now working on developing a more efficient method to create liposomes. In my free time, I like reading, running, and hanging out with friends.


Angelin Prasad

Angelin is originally from Aurora, Illinois and has been a part of the Admala-Engelhart lab since 2021. She is currently pursuing a Bachelors in Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development along with a minor in Public Health. When not in lab, you can usually find her reading or exploring the Twin Cities.


Anders Cameron

Anders is a 4th year undergrad who joined the Adamala lab in the summer of 2021. He is working on a project that involves modeling cell compartmentalization in liposomes using coacervate-forming proteins and on a project for modeling PURE. Outside of lab, he likes cross country skiing, mountain biking, traveling, and eating at local restaurants.


Joshua Davisson

Josh completed his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Montana State University before joining the Adamala-Engelhart lab in 2022. During his undergraduate years, he worked in Dr. Susy Kohout’s lab on voltage sensing phosphatases.
Josh is interested in noncanonical amino acid incorporation, flexizymes, ribosomes, organic synthesis, and cell free protein expression.
He fills his free time with mountains and mimolette, hiking, havarti, and horses, baking, brie, and birding.


Building Artificial Cells with Kate Adamala | Late Night Conference

Kate Adamala wants to make life from scratch! As Professor at University of Minnesota working on the origins of life and building a synthetic cell, Kate’s work touches on astrobiology, synthetic cell engineering, and biocomputing. Kate and her team create tiny bioreactors. These have applications in synthetic biology, drug development and biosensing.
