Monica McCallum, U Penn

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Monica McCallum, U Penn TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Shape Shifting Molecules and Microbes by Monica McCallum, U Penn Abstract: Abstract: All living organisms utilize small molecules for communication between their cells. For microscopic single-celled organisms, those small molecule signals are released into their local environment. When those molecules are received by other individual microbes of the same species, these are ‘quorum signals’ which allow populations to coordinate their actions once they have reached sufficient density. In the fierce competition for resources in these microscopic environments, microbes also create and release small molecules that interfere with their neighboring microbes, either by stealing key nutrients, disabling, or destroying the rival microbes. These bioactive small molecules, or natural products, have been the source of new antibiotic drugs for the past half century. With the increase in… Event Categories: Seminars.

Missing Maps with Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

The most crisis-prone parts of the world need mapping. With your help, we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable people.This is the aim of the Missing Maps Project, an open, collaborative initiative founded by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the British Red Cross, the American Red Cross and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Twice a month the Friends of Doctors Without Borders U of U Student Chapter will be meeting to participate in the Missing Maps Project. Volunteer mapping is a great way for students to make an impact, and is something that anyone can do on their own, from anywhere, at any time. Bring your laptop and come learn how to map with us! Event Categories: Student org. Workshops & Training. Campus Locations: Marriott Library - J. Willard (M LIB). Room Name/Number: M Lib 1009.

Chris Newton, University of Georgia

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Chris Newton, University of Georgia In person seminar  TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher Title: Design and Application of New Pericyclic Strategies by Christ Newton, University of Georgia Abstract: The overarching theme of our research program concerns the development of new and general pericyclic strategies that enable efficient access to complex cyclic frameworks of biological importance. A hallmark of our approach is the design of atypical cycloaddition reaction partners that are at a high oxidation level (i.e. large degree of heteroatom incorporation and/or unsaturation) in order to confer unique reactivity, while also minimizing the need for redox manipulations post cycloaddition. A significant challenge within this area is the development of methods that remain operationally friendly, for highly unsaturated heteroatom-rich molecules often exhibit challenging stability profiles. Generally speaking, our approaches leverage fundamental structure and r… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Andrew McNally, Colorado State University In-person seminar 4630 TBBC  4th floor Thatcher Title: Chemistry for Medicinal Chemistry with Andrew McNally, Colorado State University  Abstract: Pyridines and diazines are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, yet there are limits in synthetic methods that can directly functionalize the C–H bonds in these structures. We will show three distinct approaches, using phosphorus, ring-opened intermediates and deconstruction-reconstruction, that enable selective functionalization of these heterocycles into a range of valuable derivatives. A range of C–C and C–Heteroatom bond formations are viable, and the chemistry functions on structures typically encountered in drug discovery programs. Our lab has also performed mechanistic and computational studies of the regioselectivity of these reactions and the phosphorus ligand-coupling processes involved. Host: Qilei Zhu.
