SUMMARY:Chemistry & BCMB Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Xiohong Tan\, Assistant Professor\, Bowling Green State University\n\n\n\n\n\nEfficient Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1(2) Axis via Novel Chemical Inhibitors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Ruth W. Williams Hall of Life Sciences\, Room 060 \n\n\n\nLunch RSVP: Sign up \n\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\n\nUnderstanding protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is central to deciphering cellular processes\, as proteins are the primary functional molecules within cells. Peptides and aptamers\, which occupy a strategic niche between antibodies and small molecules\, have emerged as powerful tools for probing and modulating PPIs. \n\n\n\nPeptides serve as highly versatile ligands\, recognizing proteins through hydrogen bonding\, van der Waals forces\, and ionic interactions. They can be chemically synthesized at low cost\, possess low molecular weight\, and exhibit enhanced tissue and cellular penetration\, making them highly attractive for both research and therapeutic applications. Aptamers\, short single-stranded RNA or DNA molecules\, fold into unique three-dimensional structures that enable tight\, highly specific binding to diverse molecular targets. As compelling alternatives to antibodies\, aptamers—especially DNA-based ones—offer long shelf life\, low toxicity\, minimal immunogenicity\, cost-effective chemical synthesis\, and broad tolerance for chemical modifications\, positioning them as versatile candidates for diagnostics\, targeted therapy\, and drug development. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our recently developed aptamers and peptides targeting the PD-1/PD-L1(2) axis. These novel ligands provide a next-generation strategy for modulating PPIs\, opening new avenues for therapeutic intervention and translational applications in immuno-oncology. \n\n\n\nBio:\n\n\n\nDr. Xiaohong Tan earned his Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore. After completing postdoctoral training at the Center for Nucleic Acids Science and Technology at Carnegie Mellon University\, USA\, he began his independent research career in the Department of Chemistry at Bowling Green State University\, USA\, where he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2025. His research expertise encompasses nucleic acid chemistry\, peptide chemistry\, and protein biochemistry\, with a particular focus on developing aptamer- and peptide-based probes for precise protein recognition to investigate protein–protein and protein–nucleic acid interactions. Dr. Tan serves as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences: Molecular Recognition and is a member of the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports. His recent work has been published in leading journals\, including Journal of the American Chemical Society\, Nature Communications\, Theranostics\, Analytical Chemistry\, Chemical Communications.

SUMMARY:Chemistry and BCMB Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Sara E. S. Martin\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Chemistry; Biochemistry & Molecular Biology\, The College of Wooster\n\n\n\n“Molecular Makeovers: From Simple Precursors to Bio‑Relevant Heterocycles”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuinolinones and coumarins are related nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocycles that appear in a variety of bioactive molecules\, including pH probes\, natural products\, and pharmaceuticals. Despite their importance\, certain isomers of these molecules are hard to make. Most current synthetic routes to access 7-substituted quinolinones and coumarins either work for only a narrow set of starting materials or require multiple steps that change oxidation states after the molecule’s carbon framework is already built. These approaches limit how easily chemists can explore new structures. \n\n\n\nResearch in the Martin lab has taken a different strategy to build quinolinones\, forming the carbon skeleton from simpler building blocks using a two-step reaction sequence that converts meta‑substituted anilines and methyl 3\,3‑dimethoxypropionate to mainly 7‑substituted quinolinones. This seminar will discuss recently published studies aimed at understanding what controls the ratio of the two isomeric products and more recent work aimed at 1) developing milder reaction conditions for this transformation  2) synthesizing interesting biologically relevant quinonliones\, and 3) optimizing reaction conditions for coumarin synthesis. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Ruth W. Williams Hall of Life Sciences\, Room 060

Williams Hall of Life Sciences\, Room 060 \n\n\n\nPublic Lecture: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Hydrogen to Radon: Playing the ‘Long Game’ in Inorganic Chemistry \n\n\n\nFrom the syntheses of the first molecules containing boron-boron double bonds—the first “diborenes”—to the first molecule shown to possess a triple bond between two main group metals—the first “gallyne”—a digallium analog of acetylene\, the Robinson Laboratory has made noteworthy contributions to Inorganic Chemistry. Consequently\, in addressing foundational issues of structure and bonding\, fascinating new areas of chemistry have emerged from the Robinson laboratory such as metalloaromaticity (the realization that properly constrained metallic ring systems can display traditional aromatic properties\, thereby mimicking the chemical behavior of benzene)\, multiple-bonding involving heavier main group elements\, stabilization of silicon dioxide-based precursors to “molecular sand”\, dithiolene-based aluminum tri-radicals. These discoveries will be summarized and placed in historical context.

SUMMARY:Helen Murray Free Endowed Technical Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Gregory Robinson\, PhD\n\n\n\nFoundation Distinguished Professor of Chemistry\, University of Georgia \n\n\n\nLocation: Ruth W. Williams Hall of Life Sciences\, Room 060 \n\n\n\n\n\nTechnical Lecture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nN-Heterocyclic Carbenes and Dithiolene Radicals: Counterintuitive Main Group Chemistry \n\n\n\nOur laboratory has long pursued the synthesis\, structure\, and reactivity of unusual molecules that prominently feature main group elements. These efforts resulted in several significant milestones including the experimental realization of “metalloaromaticity” (the concept that metallic rings may also display traditional aromatic behavior as exhibited by benzene)\, synthesis of the first molecule containing a boron-boron double bond—the first “diborene”\, and synthesis of the first molecule containing a triple bond between two main group metals (the gallium analog of acetylene). Research efforts have also concerned carbene stabilization of highly reactive main group molecules such diphosphorus (P2)\, diarsenic (As2)\, and disilicon (Si2). This presentation will prominently feature our efforts to synthetically augment the molecular template of N-heterocyclic carbenes and their surprising conversion to stable dithiolene-based chemical radicals\, which have shown promise in the activation of small molecules\, such as ammonia. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Professor Robinson: https://www.gregoryhrobinson.com/ \n\n\n\nSelected Awards: \n\n\n\n\nAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences (elected in 2025)\n\n\n\nNational Academy of Sciences (elected 2021)\n\n\n\nFellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2017)\n\n\n\nF.

SUMMARY:Chemistry/BCMB Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Yana Sandlers\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Cleveland State University\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication of Mass Spectrometry in Studies of Inherited Metabolic Disorders\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the presentation we will explore the critical role of mass spectrometry in the studies of inherited metabolic disorders\, which are a large group of genetic diseases where a metabolic defect leads to the accumulation of toxic substances or a deficiency of essential metabolites. We will discuss the application of advanced mass spectrometry techniques\, including Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)\, LC-Triple Quadrupole (QTRAP)\, and LC-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (QTOF)\, for untargeted metabolomics and metabolites profiling in cellular models.  I will present some examples of how these powerful analytical tools are utilized to identify biomarkers and pathways associated with specific conditions\, such as Very Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCAD)\, Fabry disease\, and Barth syndrome. Through examples from our studies\, I will demonstrate that mass spectrometry is a vital tool in translational research. These techniques are crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms\, which in turn facilitates development of new therapeutic approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Ruth W.

SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Hopkins (’20\, CHEM)\, PhD candidate\, The University of Pittsburgh\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to characterize anion transport in a highly-ordered polymeric anion exchange membrane \n\n\n\nBecky Hopkin’s research focuses on physical chemistry. Her I.S. advisor was Karl Feierabend\, PhD.  She is a member of The Anna Group at the University of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nTwo dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR) is an ultrafast spectroscopic technique that uses laser pulse sequences to track changes to molecular vibrational excited states on the femtosecond to picosecond (10-15 to 10-12 seconds) timescale. Due to the sensitivity of vibrational excitations to the local molecular environment\, vibrational probes can be used to track ultrafast interactions between the probe and its microenvironment by tracking observables like vibrational excitation lifetime and spectral diffusion timescales. In this work\, this ability of 2DIR is leveraged to provide a molecular-level understanding of anion transport in novel highly-ordered polymeric anion exchange membranes. A combination of 2DIR\, molecular dynamics simulation\, and electronic impedance spectroscopy forms a bridge between the microscopic interactions of anions in the membranes with the macroscopic property of conductivity. In this seminar\, expect to learn about 2DIR as a technique and its application to the problem of ion transport within anion exchange membranes.  \n\n\n\nLunch with Becky\n\n\n\nStudents are invited to meet with Becky Hopkins over lunch in Severance 105 following the lecture.

SUMMARY:Chemistry/BCMB Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey M. Spraggins (CHEM\, ‘03)\, Ph.D.\, Vanderbilt University\n\n\n\n\nDirector\, Associate Professor\, Department of Cell & Developmental Biology\n\n\n\nDirector\, Mass Spectrometry Research Center\n\n\n\nDirector\, Biomolecular Multimodal Imaging Center School of Medicine\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Molecules to Maps: Technologies for Building Molecular Atlases with Mass Spectrometry\n\n\n\nModern instrumentation and computing capabilities have enabled researchers to move beyond reductionist biology and\, instead\, probe how the components of biological entities (e.g.\, molecules\, cells\, and tissues) interact to reveal the underlying biology of disease. Molecular imaging offers a ‘blueprint’ for how key biological components work together by providing spatial context to molecular information. The Spraggins Laboratory specializes in developing integrated imaging mass spectrometry technologies to create multimodal workflows that provide a systems biology view of tissue at cellular resolution\, revealing relationships between metabolites\, lipids\, proteins\, and RNA across spatial scales – from anatomical regions to single cells. In this lecture\, Dr. Spraggins will highlight recent technological advancements in spatial biology and how his team is applying these integrated approaches to the study of normal aging and disease. \n\n\n\n\n\nRuth W.

SUMMARY:Chemistry Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Karl J. Feierabend\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Chemistry\, The College of Wooster\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nB.S.\, Furman University\n\n\n\nPh.D. University of Colorado at Boulder\n\n\n\n\nAqueous Photochemistry of Warfarin and 4-Hydroxycoumarins\n\n\n\nProfessor Feierabend will present a seminar highlighting his research from his 2023-2024 research leave. \n\n\n\nThe environmental fate of many anticoagulant rodenticides is not well characterized. One class of such compounds are derivatives of 4-hydroxycoumarin (4HC)\, some of which show significant water solubility. The 4HC family of compounds have a strong absorption feature in the UVB\, making them susceptible to photolysis by sunlight. The Feierabend group has set out to study the kinetics and mechanism of the photochemistry of aqueous-phase 4HC compounds\, with a particular focus on warfarin\, the most prevalent 4HC rodenticide\, as well as a commonly prescribed pharmaceutical for blood-clotting. This lecture will present the story of their photochemical fate as studied using chemical kinetics\, absorption and emission spectroscopy\, computational chemistry\, and mass spectrometry\, the work for which was a focus for Dr. Feierabend’s recent research leave. Results suggest that warfarin may degrade significantly over short time periods in surface waters with the formation of toxic byproducts. \n\n\n\n\n\nRuth W. Williams Hall of Life Sciences\, Room 045

SUMMARY:Helen Murray Free Endowed Technical Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Tehshik Yoon\, PhD\n\n\n\nProfessor of Chemistry\, Associate Chair for the Graduate Program\, Director of Graduate Studies \n\n\n\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnical Lecture: Stereocontrol in Photochemical Reactions\n\n\n\nPhotochemistry is intriguing as a synthetic tool because the absorption of light by an organic molecule results in the formation of exceptionally energetic reactive intermediates that can react in ways that are inaccessible to ground-state molecules. However\, this high reactivity is also a challenge for stereoselective synthesis: control over the stereochemistry of photochemical reactions\, particularly using enantioselective catalysts\, has been a long-standing challenging synthetic problem with few general solutions. We recently developed a strategy that utilizes privileged chiral Brønsted acid scaffolds to control both the absolute and relative stereochemistry of complex [2+2] photocycloadditions. These reactions have enabled a general\, concise\, and stereocontrolled  strategy for the synthesis of the truxinate and truxillate natural products. \n\n\n\nWishart Hall\, Lean Lecture \n\n\n\nUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor of Chemistry\, University of Wisconsin–Madison\n\n\n\nBoard Member\, Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus\n\n\n\nAssociate Editor\, Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry\n\n\n\nGuest Editor: Trailblazers 2022\, C&EN\n\n\n\nAmerican Chemical Society Cope Scholar Award\n\n\n\nFriedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award\n\n\n\nAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science fellow\n\n\n\nCottrell Scholar Award\n\n\n\nPostdoctoral Fellow (NIH)\, Harvard University\, Cambridge\, MA\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMoles using science everyday
