Zeke was honored for his proposal on “Characterizing Microplastics and Microplastic Leachate Accumulation in Wild Rockfish Along the California Coast” by the 2024 NSF GRFP Competition. In the coming years, Zeke will be working on this project under the mentorship of Dr. Nicklisch and Dr. Pasparakis.
Jagan Ganapathy presented our ongoing study on “Unraveling molecular interactions of vaping cannabinoids with brain drug transporters: Expression and purification of human ABCB1 and ABCG2 transporters via Pichia pastoris for structure-function insight” at the Pichia 2024 in San Diego, CA.
Angela Encerrado presented our newest publication on “Enhancing knowledge of chemical exposures and fate in honey bee hives: Insights from colony structure and interactions” , and shared more about the Nicklisch Lab efforts in bee research at the 2024 School of Medicine Basic Sciences Department’s Women’s History Month Symposium in Davis, CA.

Zeke, an incoming AgChem graduate student, presented his research idea on “Characterizing Microplastic Leachate Accumulation in Wild California Rockfish,” while Tina, a current undergraduate student, presented her research idea on “Life stage-dependent ABC Transporter Expression Levels and Okadaic Depuration Rates in Mytilus californianus.“
If you would like to learn more about either of these research projects, do not hesitate to reach out to us!
