Two research groups from the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department at Ohio University recently gave an invited talk and a poster presentation at the Maumee Bay State Park in Oregon, OH, to attend the Group (OoPS) meeting. Dr. Travis A. White, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, presented an invited talk titled […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Like the outermost walls surrounding a castle, the plasma membrane is the cell’s first defense against invaders. Biological membranes are semipermeable, meaning that they are designed to block unwanted molecules while permitting the passage of compounds necessary for cellular function. And yet, an occasional […]

Dr. Robert Colvin, Professor and Chair of Biological Sciences at Ohio University, presented at a conference on “Thinking Outside the ATP Box: New ways to Target Kinases for Therapeutics,” which brought together top researchers in the field to explore and discuss cutting-edge research and challenges to developing highly specific inhibitors […]

By Raymond Humienny NQPI editorial intern Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member and Chemistry & Biochemistry professor Jixin Chen has developed a new method to optimize the fluorescence imaging of DNA structures. Although fluorescent imaging techniques are nothing new, Chen’s formulation will enhance the resolution of fine images at the […]

Since arriving at Ohio University in January of 2017, Dr. Anthony Stender has been busy accumulating microscopes. In addition to conducting research projects that rely heavily on microscopy, Stender was tasked with developing a new course on microscopy techniques and with offering research projects for undergraduates in the forensic chemistry […]

Dr. Travis A. White, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, recently presented an invited talk titled “Moving electrons and protons with visible light-absorbing heteroleptic Cu(I) photosensitizers” at the 255th American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans on March 21. The symposium program, “PCET PhotoCatalysis with Inorganic Materials […]

Dr. Hao Chen co-authored an article on “Enhancing sensitivity of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry of peptides and proteins using supercharging agents” in the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry, based on the work led by Professors Rachel Loo and Joseph Loo at UCLA. The article identifies new supercharging agents, tetraethylsulfamide and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. […]
