Paley Group

The Paley group specializes in developing new methods for synthetic organic chemistry. We are currently using planar chiral, enantiomerically pure sulfinyl iron(0) tricarbonyl complexes to control the absolute stereochemistry of spiroketal stereocenters. More about the Paley Lab

Holliday Group

The Holliday group uses analytical techniques, primarily ion mobility spectrometry, to investigate environmental systems. Current work is focused on detection of flour beetle infestations and the chiral separation of pesticides.

Miller Group

The Miller group uses biochemical methods to study the chemical basis of bacterial communication. In particular, we use x-ray crystallography to visualize the bacterial proteins and signal molecules in 3-dimensions at atomic resolution. More about the Miller Lab

Stephenson Group

The Stephenson group investigates the properties of diatomic molecules in the gas phase, using laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy to study the energy transfer that occurs when atoms and molecules collide. Our current experiments are focused on the collisions of He, Ar, N₂ and CF₄ with NO, I₂, Br₂ and ICl. More about the Stephenson Lab

Yatsunyk Group

The Yatsunyk group focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel porphyrin-based antitumor drugs that function via inhibition of telomerase. Current work includes preparation of novel porphyrin molecules that are capable of both chiral sensing and stabilization of noncanonical DNA structures. More about the Yatsunyk Lab

Howard Group

The Howard group uses physical chemistry to study molecules bound to biological membranes. Current work focuses on using magnetic resonance spectroscopies to study the structure and drug binding properties of a protein from influenza virus. More about the Howard Lab

Rablen Group

The Rablen group focuses on fundamental questions about the relationship between structure, stability, and reactivity in organic compounds, and on the mechanistic pathways of organic reactions through the use of ab initio and density functional calculations. More about the Rablen Lab
