Big congratulations to Martell Group UW–Madison first-year David Hardy and alum Max Unger for winning the U.S. National Science Foundation #GRFP ! Very happy for them!

Congratulations to our #MichiganChem graduate students who were awarded U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships for 2024!

Congratulations to 1st year Max Unger for winning the U.S. National Science Foundation #GRFP !

Fun fact: He was awarded the GRFP in the form of a Pepsi Zero 🏆

A massive congratulations to Katelyn and Max!! Incredibly well deserved recognition for these two @umich Narayan Lab @ UMich scientists 💛 Katelyn Brown Max Unger 💙👏👏👏

Congratulations to Katelyn Brown and Max Unger for receiving NSF GRFP!!! We are so proud of you both 🤩

New paper alert! Congrats to the amazing Mario, Max, and Ashley on developing an ultrahigh-throughput platform for directed evolution of plastic-degrading enzymes. ♻️

Yeah, engineered enzymes to eat PET plastics! Big congratulations to Jeff Martell and his team (@MaxUnger, Mario Cribari, Ashley)! Glad that our simulations by Ilona C. Unarta provided some mechanistic understanding of the screened mutants! Our 2nd collaborative paper with Jeff’s group!

Enzymes are promising catalysts for eco-friendly plastic recycling, but how can we make them faster? We developed a method to screen millions of enzyme mutants for enhanced plastic degradation! J. Am. Chem. Soc.
