Mutiat is working on optimizing synthetic antimicrobial peptides as antibacterial and antifungal agents and performing deep mutational analysis on multiple antimicrobial peptides to better understand their positional residue importance and flexibility.

Rabina is working on examining the sequence-activity relationships determining Protegrin-1 variant membrane selectivity and working to develop SLAY screens in human cells.

Justin grew up in Tucson, Arizona where he also received a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. He then attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he met his incredible spouse Allyssa and received his Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental...

Xingyu is working on identifying novel alpha-hairpinin peptide sequences and adapting SLAY to function in yeast.

Richard manages the lab while also working on uncovering the sequence-structure-activity relationships of the antimicrobial peptide Melittin. He is also often assigned various other 'out there' ideas that pop into Dr. Randall head.

Jordan worked on examining the sequence importance and evolution of the insect antimicrobial peptide thanatin. He has since graduated with his master's degree and is working across the street in the Gibson Lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research as a full time Research Assistant.

I joined the Randall Lab in the winter of 2024 as a volunteer and was later brought on as an official member. My research focuses on antimicrobial peptides, and I am currently involved in developing a rapid, non-toxic antimicrobial peptide screening technology. I’m passionate about exploring the...

Sara Lynn is currently working on examining the activities of Diptericins through a collaborative project with the Dr. Mark Hanson's lab at the University of Exeter.
