Jaisri Lingappa's Lab

Former Research Scientists (since 2005)

Daryl Phuong

Daryl Phuong

Daryl was a Research Scientist in the Lingappa lab from 2015 – 2019. Daryl grew up in the Seattle area and attended Aviation High School (Now Raisbeck Aviation High School), which uses project-based learning to prepare students for further study in STEM related fields. He graduated from the University of Washington (UW) in 2015 with degrees in chemistry and biochemistry. His first exposure to the research world was in Susan Brockerhoff’s Lab at UW, where he learned to appreciate model organisms and their importance in studying genetic diseases. After graduating from UW, he worked in a clinical lab derivatizing drugs and learning about their extractions and purification techniques. Daryl left the Lingappa Lab in 2019 to join a PhD program at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.

Research:

In his first few months in the Lingappa lab, Daryl rapidly learned the basics of recombinant DNA technology.  Very soon, he started learning new techniques and soon introduced an impressive array of new approaches to the Lingappa lab, including Gibson Assembly.  He became an expert in Gibson Assembly, and even developed a very cost-efficient homemade Gibson Assembly kit that made improvements to the commercial kit.  By greatly optimized our approach to mutating and modifying genomic-length retroviral plasmids, and generated an enormous number of new and useful plasmids during his time in the Lingappa lab.  He also made significant improvements to our approach to recombinant protein expression and purification.

Kasana Chutiraka

Kasana_website_pic_2015Kasana grew up in Thailand, and came to Seattle for her undergraduate studies at the University of Washington, where she majored in biochemistry and psychology. As an undergraduate, she also enjoyed her courses in genetics and microbiology, and her volunteer work with HIV positive patients in Asia. After graduating from UW, she worked as a medical scribe. Her interest in seeing another side of infectious disease through research led her to a position in the Lingappa lab, where she was a Research Scientist from 2013-2016.

Research:

During her time in the Lingappa lab, Kasana implemented two-step PCR approaches for generating proviral constructs. She also learned immunoelectron microscopy (immunoEM) and helped generate many of the immunoEM images our lab generated. She enjoys making novel observations using the electron microscope.

Clair Geary

Clair GearyClair Geary graduated from Scripps College in 2010 with a B.A. in Molecular Biology. As an undergraduate she worked on vaccine development for Rift Valley Fever at the Marquet/Ferre Vaccine Research Center at Pitzer College. During her two years in the Lingappa lab, she constructed complex proviral plasmids, learned to perform immunogold electron microscopy, and developed expertise in capturing mages using an electron microscope. She also contributed to a project studying how cellular “HIV assembly machines” promote viral particle production and HIV pathogenesis. In 2013, Clair joined the Weill Cornell Graduate School in New York City to pursue her Ph.D. studies in the laboratory of Dr. Joseph Sun.
