On June 14, we proudly celebrated a major milestone as our undergraduate researchers officially graduated from UCLA and participated in the Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics (MIMG) Commencement Ceremony on campus. The ceremony brought together graduates, families, friends, and faculty to recognize years of hard work, perseverance, and achievement. Held at UCLA's Kerckhoff Patio, the event marked the culmination of their undergraduate journeys and the beginning of exciting new chapters.
This year's graduating class includes Marta, Hannah, Sarah, Alvin, Christian, Kate, and Sam, each of whom has made meaningful contributions to the lab through their dedication to research, scientific curiosity, and commitment to learning. Whether at the bench, presenting research, mentoring fellow students, or contributing to the collaborative spirit of the lab, they have helped shape our community in countless ways.
Congratulations to our graduates on this well-deserved achievement. Thank you for being such an important part of the lab—we can't wait to see what the future holds for each of you! 🎉🎓🧪✨
