  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Mahdi Abu-Omar

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Flyer: Prof. Mahdi Abu-Omar Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Bifunctional catalysis for upcycling of polyethylene to alkylaromatics Abstract: The current scale of plastics production (nearing 400 million tons per year) and the accompanying waste disposal problems represent a largely untapped opportunity for chemical upcycling. Tandem catalytic conversion by platinum supported on […]

  • Special Biochem Seminar – Steve Bonilla

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Title: Dissecting Dynamic RNA 3D Landscapes by Cryo-EM

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Saki Ichikawa

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Dr. Ichikawa Flyer Title: Natural Recognition Motifs for the E3 Ligase Adapter Cereblon Abstract: Understanding the biology of drug target proteins is essential to enhance drug discovery efforts and mechanistic studies. The clinical drugs thalidomide and its derivatives, known as immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), are recognized by a conserved binding domain on the E3 ligase adapter […]

  • Special Biochemistry Seminar – Michael Lawson

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Michael Lawson Seminar Title: Defining the Pathways of Eukaryotic Translational Quality Control Abstract: My research examines how protein synthesis concludes on normal and defective mRNAs. Understanding how these processes are choregraphed is crucial for human health; for example, 11% of all heritable human diseases are caused by premature stop codons. As a postdoctoral fellow, I […]

  • Special Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Masha Elkin

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Abstract: The synthesis of natural products is motivated by their potent biological effects, enigmatic biosynthetic origins, and complex molecular structures. Computational tools such as density functional theory and machine learning can provide mechanistic insights and predict reactivity in silico to inform synthetic campaigns. In addition, computational tools and predictive analytics can guide the development and application […]

  • Special Biochem Seminar -Jinfan Wang

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Title: How does protein synthesis start in eukaryotes?

  • Special Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Alistair Sterling

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Strain is a foundational concept in organic chemistry. Its presence can transform an inert molecule into one with exciting properties, or steer a reaction toward a single product with exquisite control. Understanding—and importantly, predicting—the delicate balance between strain and reactivity will enable the full potential of strain to be harnessed for drug discovery, materials chemistry, […]
