Adam T Fiedler — Dr. Adam T. Fiedler's lab at Marquette University focuses on studying how certain enzymes, particularly those containing nonheme iron, oxidize sulfur-containing compounds. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind these reactions through the design of synthetic models that mimic the active sites of these enzymes, which are important for various biological processes, including amino acid metabolism and the production of crucial compounds. Undergraduate students are actively involved in this hands-on research, gaining valuable experience in chemistry techniques.
Karen Kruger — Dr. Karen Kruger's lab at Marquette University focuses on improving the understanding and clinical assessment of pediatric flatfoot deformities using advanced imaging techniques. The research aims to use weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) to create a detailed 3D analysis of the foot structures in children, which has potential to enhance early diagnosis and treatment planning. This study addresses a significant gap in current knowledge about the development of foot deformities and their long-term implications.
