About this opportunity

Our program in chemical assembly covers a range of projects extending from the interaction of laser light with perovskites, the isolation of antimicrobial molecules from cell culture, to covalent inhibition of enzymes at allosteric sites. The REU students have the potential to be involved in innovations in the areas of RNA-protein interactions, quantum computing, materials, and many others.Chemical assembly is also strongly allied with environment-friendly technologies in which fewer atoms are wasted during the manufacturing process. The focus of this training program is that curiosity drives basic research. The participants will progress from undergraduate textbook learning to discovering and solving challenging research problems. Students will develop skills in communicating their resear
