• Synthesis in a Boron World

    Abstract: Nature has evolved highly sophisticated machinery for organic synthesis, many of which resemble molecular assembly-line processes. So far chemists have been able to apply this type of approach in […]

  • CIC Careers in Green Chemistry Seminar Series

    The Center for Integrated Catalysis is hosting a new seminar series called the "Careers in Green Chemistry." With these webinars, we aim to bring speakers from a wide variety of careers, […]

  • Synthetic polypeptide-based materials for biological applications

    Abstract: As more attention is focused on biomaterials for medical applications, synthetic polypeptides offer a useful approach towards designing novel biomimetic materials. Polypeptides are inherently biodegradable and biocompatible, and offer […]

  • Mechanism-guided discovery of photocontrolled materials and reactions

    Abstract: The Kalow lab interrogates and exploits the relationship between molecular reactivity and macroscopic properties to discover polymeric materials relevant to human health and sustainability. We approach “reactivity-property” relationships bidirectionally: […]
