Current Lab Members
| Dr. Stella Impano – Stella joined the Elliott lab in October 2020, after completing her Ph.D. studies in Prof. Joan Broderick’s lab. Stella is currently working on the biochemical characterization of bacterial cytochrome c peroxidases, in efforts to further understand the structure-function relationships of enzymes in this superfamily. email: stella08 [at] bu.edu |  |
| Sheila Bonitatibus– Sheila is a current graduate student who joined the SJE lab in the winter of 2017. She was an undergraduate at Fairfield University, and is working now on the electrochemical characterization of multi-cluster containing AdoMet Radical Enzymes. email: sbonitat [at] bu.edu |  |
| Dr. Keying Chen – Keying received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Southern California in 2021, where she worked with Prof. Marinescu on metal organic frameworks for electrocatalytic small molecule activation. She is now a postdoctoral associate lecturer at the Elliott group. During the school year, Keying teaches undergraduate general chemistry courses. Her current research focuses on the electrochemical characterization of redox-active metalloenzymes. email: keying [at] bu.edu |  |
| Patrick Hewitt – Patrick joined the Elliott lab in 2020 and is a current graduate student working on characterization of bacterial cytochrome c peroxidases and bacterial ferredoxins. Patrick received his undergraduate degree from Regis University in Denver. email: email: phewitt [at] bu.edu |  |
| Shivam Kumar– Shivam is a graduate student who joined the lab in the spring 2022. He has earned a master’s degree in chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. Currently, he is focusing on the electrochemical characterization of Ado-Met Radical Enzymes.. email: kshivam [at] bu.edu |  |
| Matt Tracy– Matt is a current graduate student in the group, examining the redox properties of enzymes associated with the nitrogen cycle. They were an undergraduate at UMass-Boston. email: mtracy [at] bu.edu |  |
| Dr. Andrew Weitz – Andrew is a post-doctoral scholar, who received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon Univesity. Andrew is working on the spectroscopic characterization of bacterial cytochrome c peroxidase enzymes, and members of the OFOR family. email: acweitz [at] bu.edu |  |
| Li Zhang – Li is a current grad student in the lab who joined the lab in 2019. She studies the biological function of a new member from bacterial cytochrome c peroxidase enzyme family. email: zl03010 [at] bu.edu |  |
