ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú assistant professor of chemistry Edith "Phoebe" Glazer has received an American Cancer Society Research Scholar Grant for $715,000 over four years to continue her research into ruthenium-based cancer drugs.
John Anthony, the John C. Hubbard Professor of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú, is a pioneer in organic materials—things that are made from carbon instead of silicon. With grants from the U.S. Navy, NSF, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, as well a number of industrial sponsors, Anthony’s research focuses on organic solar cells (for low-cost generation of electricity), organic thin-film transistors (for flexible flat-panel displays), and organic light-emitting diodes (for high-efficiency lighting).
In a year that ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú teams have captured national titles, two UK alumni were part of another team that gained a world-record title — one that has the potential to impact everyone.
UK alumni Joe Bullock and Kathy Woody are synthetic chemists at Phillips 66, a Houston-based company that manufactures energy products. Their team recently attained the world record for the most efficient polymer-based solar cells.
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú professor Susan Odom has hosted two Paul Laurence Dunbar High School students in her chemistry laboratory over the past semester, conducting a project that could change the way lithium-ion batteries are produced.
High School students Nina Elliott, and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Walsh joined assistant professor Susan Odom in her chemistry lab, a partnership made possible through Paul Laurence Dunbar High School's Math, Science, and Technology Center.
A new study by ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú researchers shows how light and strained ruthenium-based drugs may be more effective at fighting cancer cells and less toxic to healthy cells than a similar and widely used drug.
Professors from the Department of Physics & Astronomy will collaborate on a 3-year project centered on fuel cycle research and development.
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Professor Yinan Wei recently received a $450,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for a study expected to generate some of the first ever data in her subject matter, which focuses on how proteins oligomerize in cell membrane, or in other words, how membrane-spanning proteins that function in units containing more than one subunit, assemble in nature.
In room 33 of the Chem-Phys building, you’ll find for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR). The facility's director is Anne-Frances Miller, an associate professor of both .
Leading experts in chemistry involving metals and proteins will be the featured speakers at the symposium Friday, May 4, on UK's campus.
