Abstract: The Sletten Group works in three different areas which all encompass “fluoro” to control and detect chemistries in living systems. These include 1) fluorous nanoemulsions as versatile scaffolds for drug delivery, 2) fluoroarenes as chemical reporter groups for non-covalent bioorthogonal chemistry, and 3) fluorophores for the shortwave infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum for real-time […]

Zachary Edward Hemminger Wollman Group “Scaling up Spatial Transcriptomics using dredFISH”
“An Organometallic Approach to the Assembly of Atomically Precise Nanomaterials” Abstract: There is significant interest in the ability to build atomically precise nanocluster molecules with complex three-dimensional structures resembling the intricate molecular architectures found in natural systems. We have developed a platform to access a class of robust, well-defined, three-dimensional hybrid nanomolecules with high tunability […]
“Rewriting the Rules of Heterogeneous Catalysis for Supported Subnanometer Metal Cluster Catalysts” Advisor: Professor Anastassia Alexandrova
Abstract: The process development of a BACE-1 inhibitor is described. In order to address major safety and scalability limitations in the Discovery synthesis, two novel reactions were developed. The discovery, development, and scale-up of these reactions will be described. Several additional methodologies which emerged during process research will also be presented.
Abstract:The selective introduction of functional groups at the positions of typically unreactive C-H bonds has been a longstanding challenge in catalysis. To this end, our group has developed practical methods for the catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds with main group reagents.(1-4) These studies have led us to a general strategy of installing a single transient […]
