Prof. Colin Nuckolls Flyer Talk Title: Putting Molecules into Materials Abstract: This presentation will detail our efforts to create materials from contorted aromatic molecules. In particular, I will discuss how to create ladder polymers from helicenes and twistacenes building blocks. These materials have extraordinary properties as materials. The helicenes have the largest chiroptic response of […]

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 […]
