Congratulations to Rachel for being awarded an NCICU undergraduate research award in the amount of $600 to fund our work with cross-coupling reactions using thiamine-dependent enzymes this summer! We’ll be presenting the work at SNCURCS in the fall. Looking forward to a fun summer of research! Read the full announcement here.
NCAS 2024
The Reynolds lab had five students present posters at the NC Academy of Science Annual Meeting this weekend at Winston-Salem State University! Rachel and Nick took home first and second place, respectively, in the Cell/Molecular Biology category! Congrats to all who presented!
Rachel won a 1st place Derieux award for her poster presentation in the Cell/Molecular Biology category!
Nick won the 2nd place Derieux award for his poster presentation in the Cell/Molecular Biology category!
Side by side poster buddies again!
Sumiya captivating her audience with cloning results
Angelique highlighting a beautiful protein structure
Charlie was our lone presenter in the microbiology category but we still like him anyways (not really sure how categories are assigned).
Campbell Chemistry & Physics had a great group - 11 students presented, with 5 awards won!

Wiggins Symposium 2024
We had a great group of students present at Campbell’s Wiggins Symposium this year! Angelique, Alex, Charlie, Rachel, Sumiya and Savannah and Celia all presented their work. We even won some awards! Angelique came away with a merit award, and Sumiya earned high merit! Congrats to the award winners and all our presenters! It’s an honor to be a mentor to these great scientists. We’ll keep things rolling with the NCAS meeting next week!
Alex explaining his work cloning SucA mutants for our Chem 432 project.
This one may or may not have been staged…only Rachel knows.
Angelique making a good impression on the poster judge.
Charlie presenting his work engineering laccases for nonnatural biocatalysis.
Celia (and Savannah) presented their work on the Design-to-Data national CURE project that we did in Biol 280 in the fall.
Savannah taking over. Great team work!
The Chemistry & Physics department award winners! Great job Sumiya, Angelique, and Mia! Our department received two-thirds of the undergraduate poster high merit awards!
All of the Wiggins award winners! Great job everyone!
Howard Research Fellows 2024
Congratulations to Rachel for being selected to the Howard Research Fellows Program for summer 2024! We’re excited to continue our work engineering thiamine-dependent enzymes for novel chemistry!
SERMACS 2023
Our lab had a great showing at SERMACS in Durham this year! Angelique, Charlie, Jose, Rachel and Sumiya all presented their work from the lab, and Nick presented on his summer REU project. I even got to present on my experience this summer participating in ACS Project SEED as a faculty mentor. Several other Campbell chemistry students presented as well! We had a great time and are definitely Campbell Proud (if you couldn’t tell by our matching polos)!
Promotion to Associate
Just found out that I was promoted to associate professor! Excited to continue to grow and develop in my career as I work to help my students achieve their goals! Looking forward to all the years ahead!
Summer Research Fun 2023
Great job to Rachel (part of Campbell’s Howard Research Fellows Program) and Jose (part of ACS Project SEED) on their summer research projects which capped off with a couple great presentations. A little sad that the summer fun is over but excited to pick things back up again this semester!
Jose crushing it in lab as usual.
ACS Project SEED Symposium was a success. Really cool seeing the work of these impressive high school students from all over the triangle.
Rachel capped off the summer at the Howard Research Fellows Poster Session with a great presentation.
Graduation 2023
Congrats to Ryan, Stephanie, Olivia and all other graduating chemistry and biochemistry students! You’ll be missed but we’re excited to see what your future holds!

Dean's Award for Excellence
It’s an incredible honor to have been selected as the recipient for the 2023 College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s Award for Excellence! I am humbled and proud to serve my students and colleagues. It truly is the best job in the world.
Wiggins Symposium 2023
Great job to Charlie, Nick, and Olivia on their poster presentations at Campbell’s Wiggins Symposium today! Charlie and Nick both won awards in the “Merit” category for Undergraduate Poster Presentations! The Chemistry department did great as a whole, with four awards overall. Check out the full list here: https://library.campbell.edu/symposium/
We all had a great time!
New and old lab members unite!
