Chemical tools for probing biological systems, Professor David Chenoweth - Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania
Host: Champak Chatterjee
Chemical tools are invaluable for modulating, probing, manipulating, and imaging biological systems. Our laboratory utilizes synthetic chemistry to develop new small and medium sized molecules for probing and monitoring biological systems. Recent examples of tools for spatial and temporal control over macromolecule localization in biological systems will be discussed in addition to new small molecule fluorescent probes for imaging and tracking biological processes. Advances in peptide chemical tools will also be covered along with progress on their biological applications.
David was born in Indiana and received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. After graduation, he completed an internship in organic chemistry at Dow AgroSciences prior to joining the Neuroscience Discovery Chemistry Research department at…

Synthetic life in 2D: self-organization in Flat Land
Dr. İrep Gözen - Bionanotechnology and Membrane Systems, University of Oslo
Host: Daniel Chiu
Conventionally, synthetic cell studies focus on isolated, freely suspended lipid compartments. This approach misses the full potential of the 2D fluidic lipid material. My team recently discovered astonishing biosurfactant assemblies developing on flat solid interfaces. The assemblies are non-trivial and adopt morphologies ranging from compartments interconnected with nanotubes to microbial colony-like structures. In my talk, I will explain how we exploit the tiny energy gain arising from contact with solid interfaces to drive the architecture, communication and transport properties of artificial cell populations in a ‘flat world’. The talk will highlight the implications of the new findings for our understanding of possible origin of life processes as well as our approach to synthetic cell engineering, and argue that materials properties-driven autonomous…

Analytical Seminars
Manipulating Molecular Ion Trains, Professor Brian Clowers - Department of Chemistry, Washington State University
Host: Matt Bush
Impacting quality control efforts, statistical confidence, and signal-to-noise ratio for many analytical techniques, separation science is foundational across disciplines. While the capacity to isolate target chemical species and their associated signals has direct bearing on decision-making, the efficient isolation of select molecules also provides a setting to conduct detailed physical and chemical experiments free from interference. By developing a series of innovative tools for separating and isolating molecular ions, the Clowers Research Group is pursuing a range of techniques to probe selective gas-phase ion chemistry by establishing conditions difficult to achieve in standard mass spectrometry systems. This presentation will detail salient examples of gas-phase hydrogen-deuterium exchange at elevated pressures and how these experiments offer new insights into the mechanisms…

, New Strategies for Targeted Gas-Phase Ion Chemistry, Professor Daniel Nomura - Department of Chemistry, Berkeley College of Chemistry
Host: Champak Chatterjee
The Nomura Research Group is focused on reimagining druggability using chemoproteomic platforms to develop transformative medicines. One of the greatest challenges that we face in discovering new disease therapies is that most proteins are considered “undruggable,” in that most proteins do not possess known binding pockets or “ligandable hotspots” that small-molecules can bind to modulate protein function. Our research group addresses this challenge by advancing and applying chemoproteomic platforms to discover and pharmacologically target unique and novel ligandable hotspots for disease therapy. We currently have three major research directions. Our first major focus is on developing and applying chemoproteomics-enabled covalent ligand discovery approaches to rapidly discover small-molecule therapeutic leads that target unique and novel…
