Adelaide Kruse and Dr. Katherine Cimatu contributed to an article “Engineered silica nanoparticles interact differently with lipid monolayers compared to lipid bilayers” that appeared on the cover of Environmental Science: Nano. Kruse is a Chemistry undergraduate student in the Honors Tutorial College, and Cimatu is Assistant Professor of Chemistry and […]

Dr. Jessica White, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, published several articles on her research in the photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes with applications in photodynamic therapy and photochemotherapy. Both types of therapy provide less invasive and more localized treatment of diseases such as cancer and bacterial infections. […]

Dr. Jixin Chen, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute member, published multiple journal articles in 2017. Chen has developed a statistical computer program to help researchers account for the blurring effect in single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) measurements. Single-molecule FRET is a classic microscopy […]

By Ramin Rabbani Graduate Student in Chemistry at Ohio University If you are a graduate student in chemistry, physics or biology, you may have to teach in one of the many labs offered for undergraduates. A lab is different compared to a class in many aspects, but the main difference […]

Dr. Anthony Stender, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, was quoted in an article headlined “Luminescent nanoparticles leave a glowing fingerprint” in Chemical & Engineering News. A new fingerprinting technique that uses long-lived luminescent nanoparticles provides sharp images of otherwise invisible prints (Anal. Chem. 2017, DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.7b03003). The method offers […]
