Dr. Delgado would like to thank all 10 undergraduate students (who led this study), from both her labs at 

Seattle Pacific University and her previous institution 

Northwest University, for all their hard work! Each student was given their own project and showed undergrads can do amazing science!!!

Delgado would like to also thank her collaborators...

• Dr. Tim Nelson at Seattle Pacific for performing statistical analysis of the metabolomics and lipidomic data.

• Dr. Erica Sanchez at University of Texas - Dallas and her graduate student Kevin Moreno at San Francisco State University for helping to analyze the data and for helping to write the paper.

Congratulations to Madeleine Splattstoesser for winning the Top Oral Presentation prize in the Biology category at the SPU 21st annual Erickson Research conference!

Congratulations to Delgado lab alumni, Angie Vazquez, who will be attending University of Colorado - Denver this fall 2023. She will be pursuing a PhD in their Biomedical Sciences Program (BSP)!

Delgado lab releases pre-print of their first research manuscript.
Best of all, the study was led by 10 undergraduate student authors!
