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, linked through green chemistry, to come talk about their current job as well as the career path that led them to that position. We are pleased […]

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 wide-ranging properties seen in living systems. The peptide backbone is enzymatically degradable while their side chain functionality can be modified to create an array of […]

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: in reactivity-directed materials discovery, we use synthesis and physical organic chemistry to tune reactions occurring within polymer networks. In polymer networks composed of reversible covalent […]

Modulating the conformation and function of disease-relevant RNA with small molecules
Abstract: Small molecules offer a unique opportunity to target structural and regulatory elements in therapeutically relevant RNAs, but understanding functional selectivity has been a recurrent challenge in small molecule:RNA recognition. In particular, RNAs tend to be more dynamic and offer less chemical functionality than proteins, and biologically active ligands must compete with the highly abundant […]
Chem 278: Prof. Sen Zhang
“Atomically Precise Nanocrystal Surfaces and Interfaces for Electrocatalysis” Catalysis at surfaces and interfaces where there exists bi- or multi-component cooperation has been identified as crucial for many processes related to energy and environmental applications. In this talk, I will highlight such cooperative catalysis can be synthetically controlled at the surface and interface of atomically precise […]
