• Direct, Selective Grafting of a Controlled Polymerization from the N-Terminal ⍺- Carbon of Peptides

    Aubert Hall

    Guest Lecture Series 2026Department of Chemistry Join us as we welcome Ms. Megan Driscoll, Ph.D. Candidate (Cornell University) Grafting well-defined polymers directly from the N-terminus would be a simple, selective, and broadly applicable method of synthesizing peptide-polymer conjugates. We have developed a method to graft controlled polymerization directly from the redox-activated N-terminus of amino acids […]

  • Design of functional hybrid semiconductors and their synthesis by solution state self-assembly

    Aubert Hall

    Guest Lecture Series 2026 Department of Chemistry & FIRST joint seminar Join us as we welcome Robert M. Stolz, Post-doctoral Scholar (Stanford University) Semiconductive materials that can form from solution by self-assembly offer unique benefits. Among the most compelling is the ability to rationally obtain new functional properties that are intrinsic to the material. Hybrid […]
