Welcome to the Official Dude-in-Residence, Dr. Sebastian Brauchi

This week, with great pride, we announce the arrival of Sebastian 'Chino' Brauchi to UBC to work, teach and hold court in the lab for the next 6 weeks. Chino has been recently awarded the Life Sciences Centre Visiting Scholar Award for 2010 which affords him bragging rites, not to mention support for some research goodies in addition to travel and lodging at UBC. He is an world-class TRP-channel pro who has recently founded his lab in beautiful (and equally rainy) Valdivia, Chile. We look forward to seeing some cool and interesting things come out of his time here. Welcome to Chino, let the good times roll.
