Kritzer Flyer Designing Stapled Peptides that Control Autophagy Abstract: Autophagy is a cellular recycling process important for health and disease, and a major focus for new types of targeted protein degradation. The Kritzer Lab has used structure-based design to develop stapled peptides that bind the critical autophagy proteins LC3B and GABARAP with nanomolar affinities. Small […]
Flyer: Prof. Jerome Robinson Flyer Title: Catalyst RE-Design: Dynamic, Reactive, and Selective Systems for Oxygenated (Co)Polymer Synthesis Abstract: Polymer waste has quickly become one of our society's largest looming environmental concerns, where an estimated 4.9 GTons of polymer waste currently exist in the environment. Central to addressing this challenge is the generation of polymers with […]
Flyer: Dr. Jennifer Casey Flyer Title: Implementing Effective and Inclusive Group Work in the STEM Classroom Abstract: Students learn more and earn higher grades in student-centered, collaborative instruction than in lecture-based instruction. Research also suggests that group work may improve equity in course outcomes. Given the many documented benefits of collaborative learning, instructors have good […]

Maimone Flyer Synthetic Studies of Complex Natural Products Abstract: Natural products continue to provide inspiration for improved synthetic design processes and novel methodologies, and also serve as potential leads for medicinal chemistry exploration and drug discovery. This talk will highlight efficient total syntheses of biologically active natural products with a focus on the enabling synthetic […]
Flyer: Prof. Quentin Michaudel Flyer Title: Modern Organic Reactions for Precise (Macro)molecular Synthesis Abstract: Progress in healthcare, clean energy, and sustainable materials is driven by the synthesis of molecules of ever-increasing complexity. Research in the Michaudel group centers on the invention of polymerization methods that allow for precise control over macromolecular architecture (i.e., monomer composition, […]
Prof. Clement Flyer Linking Synthesis, Composition, and Performance in Li-ion and Na-ion Battery Materials Using Magnetic Resonance Tools Abstract: Batteries have transformed our daily lives and hold the key to a low carbon future. Yet, current Li-ion chemistries are approaching their theoretical performance limit. Remarkably, we continue to rely on a limited subset of Li-ion […]
