Liau Flyer Unraveling Chromatin Complexes with Small Molecules Abstract: The orchestrated interactions of chromatin complexes and transcription factors shape the cell’s epigenome to control gene expression and cell state. Dysregulation of these complexes and their interactions underlie human disease, and new therapeutic approaches to modulate them by blocking or even creating interactions are transforming paradigms […]

Flyer: Prof. Rebecca Abergel Flyer Title: Heavy elements in nature: from waste management to precision medicine Abstract: From the potential contamination of individuals with radioactive fission products after a nuclear accident to the therapeutic use of radioisotopes for cancer diagnostics and treatment, the nuclear, coordination, and biological chemistry of actinides have become increasingly relevant to […]
Join the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry for our annual Departmental Award Ceremony! We are honored to recognize the achievements and research done by our Undergraduate/Graduate/Postdoctoral Researchers, as well as the leadership and administrative contributions from our Faculty and Staff throughout the 2022-2023 Academic Year. We hope to see you at this celebratory Award Ceremony!
Yudin Flyer Synthetic Half-Reactions Abstract: This lecture will describe the concept of synthetic half-reactions and its applications towards understanding the interplay of chemical reactivity and conformational interconversions. Apart from electrochemistry, which offers half-reaction formalism to predict reactivity, there is no accepted system that dissects chemical transformations into simple components with the goal of matching uphill […]

Prof. Cushing Flyer Title: From Batteries to Photoelectrochemistry: Exploring Ultrafast Phenomena with Electrons, X-rays, and Entangled Photons Abstract: The Cushing lab focuses on ultrafast instrumentation building that ranges from tabletop X-rays, entangled photon spectroscopy, ultrafast TEM/EELS, to new forms of battery spectroscopy. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to our research areas, […]
Flyer: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng Flyer Title: Using Assessment to Inform Instructional Changes Abstract: An integral aspect of education is assessment, but what is the purpose of assessment, and what can we do to better assess our students? Two common reasons for assigning assessments include determining what students have learned and assigning grades, yet another purpose […]
