After graduating from IU, Josh applied for jobs in industry and accepted a position with a structural crystallography company, Shamrock Structures, based out of Chicago. It’s a fitting company to join as he does have a shamrock tattoo on his back (seriously!). Josh is routinely at the synchrotrons across the U.S., Canada and Europe collecting and processing enoromous amounts of crystallographic data, primarily for big pharma companies. I hope he finds some time to sleep!! – CD3
My name is Joshua Carter. I was born in Columbus, Indiana and grew up in a small farm town nearby called Hartsville. I’m a senior achieving a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. I recently transferred from the Bauer Lab to the Dann Lab, after having two years experience as an undergraduate. I made this switch in order to gain knowledge of new laboratory skills and offer assistance where needed. My future plans are to either go to medical school or become a professional nurse. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. My hobbies include working out, eating, and occasionally sleeping.
I will primarily focus on scientific methods concerning binding characteristics and affinity. Such methods include: Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, Surface Plasmon Resonance, and Fluorescence Anisotropy. I also plan to contribute to x-ray crystallography efforts.
Enough with the seriousness! My real name is Hulk with a capital H. I was recruited to the Dann Lab for the sole purpose of keeping ninjas (Soca) in line. Other nicknames include: Tweedle Brawh Rib Kicker, Awesome, Frat Man. (No I’m not in a fraternity). I plan to invest much time and effort in my research with the Dann Lab, but at the same time have fun with what I’m doing.
