Laura Wang '10 was one of 20 students to participate in the American Chemical Society's 2009 Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Symposium, along with Lisa Schumacher '10.
She presented a poster of her summer research on the conformational changes associated with pH activation of the M2 proton channel of the influenza virus. Swarthmore College's Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant and a Howard Lab NIH grant provided funding for the trip.
Tom Stephenson, Swarthmore Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, helped coordinate this year's Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Symposium at the ACS meeting.
