• Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Timothy Cernak

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Combinatorial Explosion: From Atom-Bond Arrangements to Exotic Diseases Abstract: Chemical synthesis and data science are two fields that operate in synergy. Molecules and the routes to synthesize them are easily represented as graphs while automated chemical synthesis strategies allow more and more synthesis data to be captured, for instance to feed machine learning algorithms. This […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Tianning Diao

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Leveraging One- and Two-Electron Mechanisms in Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Abstract: While palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have revolutionized the construction of multi-aryl scaffolds in pharmaceutical synthesis, the reactivity of nickel in mediating radical pathways has expanded the scope of cross-coupling to include various alkyl motifs. Through our mechanistic investigations and an understanding of ligand effects, we established that […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Jarad Mason

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Flyer: Prof. Jarad Mason Flyer Title: Manipulating Phase Transitions and Porosity: From Solid Refrigerants to Microporous Water Abstract: Materials that undergo phase transitions in response to specific stimuli and that contain pores tailored to interact with specific guest molecules offer unique opportunities for addressing many important global challenges. Here, I will describe two recent examples […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Julian West

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    West Flyer A Radical Approach to Organic Chemistry Abstract: Synthetic chemists need ever better tools to synthesize the molecules of modern life, from life-changing pharmaceuticals to next generation materials. Further, there is increasing need for these transformations to be both step and atom efficient and sustainable, proceeding under mild conditions using earth abundant elements. Here […]

  • Special Biochemistry Seminar: Prof. Steffen Lindert

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Flyer: Prof. Steffen Lindert Flyer Title: Using Computers to Derive Protein Structure from Sparse Data – A Case Study for Mass Spectrometry Abstract: Mass spectrometry-based methods such as covalent labeling, surface induced dissociation (SID) or ion mobility (IM) are increasingly used to obtain information about protein structure. However, in contrast to other high-resolution structure determination […]
