Getting to know the Krueger Research team
We are a dynamic group of graduate and undergraduate (and sometimes high school) students, each of whom harbor a passion for scientific research. We all want to learn how to properly prepare samples and buffers, collect and analyze data, and effectively communicate our results, trials and questions with one another and the larger scientific community. I hope that you find this website useful in your quest to find out about the research conducted in the Krueger Research group. Students who have the commitment and passion to join our team are invited and encouraged to stop by the laboratory to introduce yourself and/or to attend a scheduled group meeting or two. Email Dr. Krueger if you would like to join us for an upcoming meeting or to schedule a personal interview.

Jon had been working as a Research Technician at John Hopkins since leaving UNC Charlotte. Most recently, he joined a muscle protein research group at the University of Maryland in Baltimore.
*****************
Nidhi Modi *05
Investigation into the deuteration level of proteins using electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy and NMR
Nidhi began working on a PhD in Kentucky, before leaving science to raise a family.

Paul Perryman *01
Small-angle x-ray scattering reveals Ca2+-induced activation of the actin-binding protein gelsolin
For several years after graduating from UNCC, Paul was a Science teacher at Jordan HS and then Durham school of the Arts. In 2007, he left the teaching profession to purse an Nursing degree specializing in Anesthesia at Chapel Hill. He currently works as an RN for the North Carolina Health Care System.
