     Samantha Burgess came to Muhlenberg from her home in Southborough, MA.  She is a chemistry major, and she has been working with Dr. Keane since her freshman year investigating a series of novel tungsten compounds.  Her summer activities have involved an internship at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and participation in the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Brandeis University.  She is currently trying to narrow down her graduate school options to a short list, and she also enjoys taking dance lessons, singing in church choir, and peer tutoring in her spare time. 
 

     Brian Wernick is a senior Biochemistry major and a Jewish Studies minor from Reading, PA. Since the Spring of his Junior year, he has been a member of the Lincomycin Research team with Dr. Keri Colabroy. This past summer, he worked in Dr. Colabroy’s research lab studying the biosynthetic pathway of lincomycin. During the Fall of his Junior year, Brian got a taste of Danish culture when he studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. Outside of schoolwork, Brian plays on the Varsity Tennis team, is the Senior Engagement Coordinator for Hillel, and a member of the fraternity, Delta Tau Delta. Next year, Brian plans to pursue an M.D. degree at Temple University School of Medicine.
