Akilah Mateen
Akilah is graduate student who started working in the 3B Lab in 2021. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Goucher College. Her interests lie in studying organo-metallic peptide complexes to treat infections and other human disease.
Miryam Kikhwa
Miryam is a Masters student in the Department of chemistry and Biochemistry. She received her undergraduate degree from Montclair State University. Her projects in the 3B Lab focus on the development of novel antifungal peptides. In addition to her graduate work, she is also a registered EMT and has been working with the Little Falls Fire Department
belmin Kolenovic
Belmin is a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry who joined the lab in 2024. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Farleigh Dickinson University. He works on projects with antimicrobial peptides and can almost always be found wearing his signature Nike baseball cap.
Reesha S Hora
Reesha is an undergraduate biochemistry major who joined the lab in 2022. She is thrilled by the exposure to different areas of biology and chemistry through the interdisciplinary nature of the lab and is currently studying the development of antifungal peptides against major fungal pathogens alongside her peers. Outside of the lab she is involved in several campus choral groups and Student Government Association.
Dylan Schwartz
Dylan is an undergraduate student majoring in biochemistry and philosophy at Seton Hall University. He is interested in exploring the biochemistry underlying disease pathologies and is currently studying multi-drug resistant fungi alongside graduate student Akilah Mateen. After his undergraduate studies, Dylan plans to pursue a graduate degree in biochemistry and ultimately a career in biotechnology and drug discovery.
