Maddy | PhD Chemistry Candidate 👩‍🔬 on Instagram: "I purified my protein! Protein purification weeks involve long days full of lab work with lots of moving parts. Here I’m showing one of the first steps. I grew up 6L of bacteria expressing my protein. Then I spun down my 6L of culture to collect the big pellets for more processing in later steps. The hard work was worth it! Now on to characterize my novel protein mutant with biochemical assays. #phd #womeninstem #lab #reseach #science"
