Student Spotlight

Sebastian Kenny Purdue University Department of Chemistry & Molecular Biophysics Training Program What has been the most exciting experience of your studies in biophysics?

The broadness of the areas and topics covered in Biophysics! I only understood the breadth of biophysics when I joined the Das Lab and became a trainee of the Molecular Biophysics Training Program at Purdue. Within this short period, I’ve been able to sit and network with “celebrities” of biophysics of many different research inter- ests. It just comes to show how fundamental knowledge in biophysics can be used to solve so many questions. It is even more exciting when the community is filled with warm and welcoming people!
