Sandaru graduated from the University of Alberta, majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry, and thought, why not combine them and do a biochemistry master's. He hopes to remain within academia in the future and his interest in working with complicated and cutting edge instruments brought him to the Di Trani lab. He loves going on hikes and doing a bit of gardening in the summer months, favorite hobbies include gaming, playing some chess and drinking a nice hot cup of Ceylon tea.

Camille earned her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Reims, France, and her Master's degree in Molecular and Supramolecular Chemistry from Strasbourg, France. She is currently completing her PhD in Basel, Switzerland, under the supervision of Dr. Florian P. Seebeck, where she conducted research on biomechanistic analysis using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and degradation pathways of a micronutrient. She is excited to continue as a laboratory technician in Dr. Justin Di Trani's lab, contributing to structural biology research with a focus on the electron transport chain using cryo-EM analysis.

Outside the lab, she enjoys outdoor activities such as triathlon, rafting and hiking. She also loves listening to music, exploring new cultures—especially through culinary specialties—and traveling the world.

Jialin has recently graduated from the University of Alberta with an honours degree in biochemistry. He is keen to bridge theory and practice by applying biochemical concepts to experimental research. His interests in structural biochemistry, combined with the opportunity to explore cryogenic electron microscopy, led him to join the Di Trani Lab. Outside of the lab, he can often be found delighting in the pages of a good book or enjoying a spirited game of badminton.

Sukhwinder earned his PhD in Structural Biochemistry from IIT Bombay (Mumbai, India). He worked on the dynamics and allosteric regulation of purine metabolic enzymes during his PhD. His interest in exploring membrane proteins brought him to the Di Trani Lab. Sukhwinder is a beach person who enjoys solo travelling and wildlife safaris, and he makes wonderful Instagram reels (check them out at @warraich.sukhwinder)
