Our laboratory hails from across the globe, including members from Russia , China , India , Canada , France , Italy , New Zealand, Taiwan, Japan, South Africa and the United States , and it keeps changing. The diversity of ethnic, cultural and educational backgrounds as well as our mutual respect for each other is what makes our lab productive and the environment comfortable to work in. We enjoy hanging out together both in the lab and outside of work.
