Join the lab

Do ambitious science with us.

Our group brings together researchers from chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, molecular biology, and mass spectrometry. We value curiosity, rigorous experimentation, collaboration, and people who want to learn new approaches.

Interested in the lab?Prospective members should explain what scientific questions interest them and why the Laganowsky Lab is a good fit.

Opportunities

Find your path

We welcome inquiries from prospective Ph.D. students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduates interested in membrane protein chemistry and biophysical methods.

Graduate

Ph.D. students

Graduate students join through the Texas A&M Chemistry Ph.D. program and can pursue projects spanning native MS, structural biology, membrane proteins, ion channels, and signaling.

  • Apply through the Chemistry graduate program
  • Identify the Laganowsky Lab as a faculty group of interest
  • No direct lab application substitutes for the departmental application

Training

Learn across disciplines

Projects in the group commonly cross traditional boundaries, giving trainees exposure to multiple approaches while maintaining a clear mechanistic biological question.

Native MS

Intact complexes, lipid binding, kinetic measurements, and emerging instrumentation.

Membrane proteins

Expression, purification, reconstitution, and biochemical characterization.

Structural biology

Cryo-EM and complementary structural approaches in defined membrane environments.

Scientific communication

Writing, presentations, collaboration, mentoring, and preparation for diverse scientific careers.
