Prof. Giulia Palermo Flyer Title: Dynamics and mechanisms of CRISPR-Cas9 through the lens of computational methods Abstract: The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) genome-editing revolution established the beginning of a new era in life sciences. I will report the role of state-of-the-art computations in the CRISPR-Cas9 revolution, from the early refinement of cryo-EM […]
Title: Giving Chemistry Direction Abstract: In recent years examples of synthetic molecular machines and motors have been developed, all be they primitive by biological standards. Such molecules are best designed to work through statistical mechanisms. In a manner reminiscent of Maxwell’s Demon, random thermal motion can be rectified through ratchet mechanisms, giving chemistry direction. It […]
Title: "Illuminating Exotic Chemistry and Physics with Single-Quantum-State Spectroscopy" Abstract: Molecules are amongst the most complex objects that can be controlled and studied at the individual quantum state level. In this talk, I will introduce some of the extraordinary advances made in the last decade by the application of AMO physics tools, including cavity-enhanced optical […]
Flyer: Prof. Victor Mougel Flyer Title: Bio-inspired Strategies for Small Molecule Electroreduction Across Multiple Scales Abstract: Enzymatic systems have evolved complex strategies to maximize the efficiency and product selectivity in small molecule activation, including CO2 reduction. Besides unique active sites containing, by definition, earth-abundant elements, enzymes further control catalytic activity through second sphere interactions and […]
