Dr. Sherri McFarland, from The University of North Carolina - Greensboro, will be presenting a seminar titled, "Adventures in Photomedicine: Using Light-Mediated Processes to Improve Health and Treat Disease". Photomedicine is an interdisciplinary field where chemistry and light meet to fight disease. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a special branch of photomedicine that employs a sensitizer molecule, light, and oxygen to destroy target cells with spatiotemporal selectivity. Despite its enormous potential for treating certain diseases, including cancer and infection, PDT has [...]
Dr. Andrew Murkin, from University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, will present a seminar titled, "Mechanism and inhibition of enzyme-catalyzed retro-aldol reactions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis." Abstract: Retro-aldol reactions involve the cleavage of a compound containing an alcohol b to a carbonyl, yielding an aldehyde and another carbonyl-containing product (i.e., aldehyde, ketone, ester, or carboxylic acid). Enzymes that catalyze this process may release the two products, as in the case of aldolases and other carbon-carbon lyases, or may [...]
Dr. Brian Long, from The University of Tennessee, will be presenting a seminar titled, "Accessing Tailored Polyolefins and Gas Separation Membranes via Coordination Polymerization Methods." ABSTRACT: Coordination-insertion based polymerization methods provide a multitude of opportunities for enhanced control over catalytic activity, selectivity, and reactivity. Through tailored catalyst development and macromolecular design, the Long Research Group leverages these advantages to synthesize unique and/or tailored polymeric structures for a variety of applications. In this talk, we will demonstrate the potential power of [...]
Kerry Barnett will present her research seminar entitled: "Air-Stable Palladium (II) Precatalysts: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications to Cross-Coupling Reactions."
Professor Philomela Komninou, from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, will be presenting a seminar titled, "Investigating Materials Structure at the Nanoscale." Abstract: Electron Microscopy Laboratory, Department of Physics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece Email: komnhnoy@auth.gr, URL: http://nmmg.physics.auth.gr New technologies make use of advanced nanostructured materials and systems which are mainly fabricated on non-equilibrium conditions and present superior physical or mechanical properties. Many of these systems are 1 -, 2- and 3-dimensional as nanowires, quantum wells, quantum dots and [...]
