This page shows a few past members of people in the lab of James Bowie and what they're doing now. Our apologies if not everyone is represented.
Who are these charsimatic fellows--surely it must be Chow Yun-Fat and Jet Li?

Musical Scientists |
No wait, it's our own Chongwoo Kim and Tau-mu Yi. They were post-docs in the Bowie Lab.
Tau-mu Yi is currently a professor at the University of California, Irvine.

Chongwoo Kim is currently a professor at the University of Texas, at Austin.

Sanguk Kim was a post-doc in the Bowie Lab.
He is currenlty an assistant professor at Seoul University.
Here's Yufeng "Fenny" Zhou. Also known as the Fennenator, and the Fentium III 1.5 GigaHertz.

The nickname "Fentium" derives from her ability to divide a restaurant check eleven ways to three decimal places in her head. Because she was the Bowie Lab's most responsible Lab Citizen, the lab's award for good citizenship is still called "The Citizen Zhou."
Fenny Zhou is currently an assistant professor at Yale Medical School.
|
This is Christopher Thanos, who was a graduate student and post-doc in the Bowie Lab.
He has since founded a biotech startup company, Catalyst.
|
Here is the first crop of graduate students to get their Ph.D.'s in the Bowie Lab: Francis Lau, Fenny Zhou, and Chris Thanos.
|
Here's Francis Lau at his graduation.
|
Amit Oberai (seen here at the Christmas Party '06) got his Ph.D. in the lab.
He is currently a post-doc at Yale University in the lab of Mark Gerstein.

Eric Shiozaki was a post-doc in the lab.
He currently works for Burrill and Company in San Francisco.

This is Salem Faham, former post-doc, and Marisa Baron, former grad. student from the Bowie Lab.
Marisa is currently doing research on AIDS in South Africa.
|
Here is Hye-Yeon Kim, a former post-doc.
|

This is Sarah Yohannon, a former grad. student in the Bowie Lab.
Sarah is now a post-doc in Fenny Zhou's lab at Yale.
(It seems like we have a lot of wedding photos-- it's one of the few times scientists are well-dressed.)

Juann Wen was the first post-doc to work in the Bowie Lab. She is shown here with her husband, David.
|
Bryan Harada was an undergrad. researcher in the lab. He is now in grad. school at Harvard.
Here he's holding the decoration from his going-away cake, which says "Congratulations Bryan Har-vard-ada." Sorry about the pun.

Here's Gabriella "Gabby" Boulting, formerly an undergrad. researcher in the lab.
Gabby is now going to grad. school at Harvard, and is missed. Here she is wearing her going away present, a lab coat with "UCLA to Harvard" artwork made by her labmates.
These are some undergraduate students who did research internships in the Bowie Lab, helping me (F.P.) construct the SFR Database.

The ACT (SFR) Project Undergrads |
They are holding in their arms a small fraction of the molecular biology articles I made them read.
From L to R: Stacey Hom, Ani Manukyan, Emiko Bare and Albert Tsai.
Emiko is now a grad. student at MIT. Albert is at the Keck School of Medicine at USC. Stacy Hom is in medical school at Drexel University.

She went on to get her Ph.D. at UCSD, and is now a post-doc at Stanford.
Her mother, Dawn Yang, currently works in the Bowie Lab.
