Chemistry & Biochemistry NewsLetter - Spring 2012

 

In this issue, we feature a number of our distinguished faculty members receiving prominent awards including:

  • Dr. Sabeeha Merchant, who was elected to the prestigious National Academy of  Science
  • Professor Joan Valentine, who was admitted to the Royal Society of Chemisty as a Honorary Fellow
  • Professor Kendall Houk, who was awarded the 2012 Robert Robinson Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry
  • Professor Xiangfend Duan, who received a 2012 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award
  • Dr. Neil Garg, who was awarded Four Early Career Award including Alfred Sloan Foundation, and more

Our graduate fellows are just as active, receiving such a honors as Journal of Biological Chemistry Young Investigator's award(Congratulations to Erin Greiner.)  Our congratulation also goes to Mr. Julio Darcy who have earned a second prize at the annual National Collegiate Inventor's competition sponsored in part by the UD Patent and Trademark Office.

Read our featured article on our faculty, Dr. Jorge Torres, who discovered suppressing STARD9 protein could be a novel a strategy to fight off certain kind of cancer cells. A newly found STARD9 protein helps to regulate cell division, and could potentially used to stop malignant cells from dividing. His study was published in the December 9, 2011 issue of Cell.

Our achievements and awards are numerous.  Find out more by Downloading our newsletter.
