June 20, 2024 -- Emma Brace, Assistant Professor, Boston College​ Department of Engineering, ​with her students Avery Suza MCAS '26​, Luke Baxter MCAS '27, and Melanie Cotta MCAS '26​ in 245 Beacon. The team​ is conducting summer ​research ​c​ompleting xylitol assays, measuring how much xylitol the fermentations produced using a spectrophotometer. The assay causes a color change resulting in a gradient of samples/colors.

The Brace Lab at Boston College leads research in bioprocessing, downstream separations and recovery of biomolecules and bioproducts, and quantitative sustainable design [including techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA)] of bioproducts and biorefineries.
