Our recent “chemical virology” review focusing on virus-like particles has been published in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews. It focuses primarily on the development of polymer-based chemistry on VLPs to make new materials for drug delivery and diagnostic agents. Congrats authors!
Anna Schlimme successfully defended her master’s thesis, becoming the first graduate of the group. Congratulations Anna!
Jeremiah has won The School of Natural Science and Mathematics Outstanding Professor of the Year Award for his work with graduate and senior undergraduate students. The award is an honor for Jeremiah, of course, but it is far more a reflection of a strong student body, both at the graduate and undergraduate level.
Zhuo Chen has been awarded the Mei Lein Fellowship from the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics for her tireless dedication to her research. It was certainly a difficult decision as there would have been very stiff competition within our own group, much less the entire school. A very warm congratulations to Zhuo!
Madushani Dharmarwardana has won a $1000 grant to attend the ACS National Meeting in Boston, MA where she will present her latest work on biopolymer hybrids!
Zhuo Chen has won a $1000 grant to attend the ACS National Meeting in Boston, MA to present her work on smart nanomaterials!
