High expectations for lab meetings, sometimes brutally honest critiques, but you'll come out a better researcher. Demanding but supportive when things go wrong.
I engaged with the lab as a rotation student for one semester; most contact was at weekly meetings and short project check-ins. Guidance emphasized experimental design and the immunological context of glycoengineering work. Communication was supportive in technical discussions, and outreach/education initiatives were clearly valued by the group. I had limited visibility into grant management or long-term supervision practices. Likely a good fit for students interested in immunology with an engineering/translation component.

Has a vision for the lab's research direction and communicates it clearly. Your papers should fit that vision somewhat. Flexible if your idea is strong enough.
