Congratulations to our amazing postdoc Dr. Makeda Tekle-Smith on starting her independent career at Columbia University as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry! We look forward to all the exciting chemistry to come from the Tekle-Smith lab starting July 2022!
We wish our former postdoc Dr. Garrison Kinney all the best as he begins his new position as a medicinal chemist at Janssen!
Kassandra’s review paper on BioLEC’s contributions to the advancement of photoredox catalysis was published in Accounts of Chemical Research. Congratulations to the whole team!
Stephen and Wendy’s recent work on the synthesis of a Ni(I)-bipyridine complex and its speciation and oxidative addition studies with aryl halides was published in JACS. Congratulations!
Andrzej, Jason, and Ben’s work on the development of Auto-QChem, an automated software package that streamlines DFT calculations for organic molecules, was recently published in Reaction Chemistry & Engineering. Congratulations!
Stavros, Shutian, Andrzej, Shivanni, and Jesus’ paper on a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed (deutero)methylation and alkylation of aryl halides with integration of data science techniques to quantify population-wide reactivity trends was recently published in JACS. A great team effort!
Izzy and Makeda’ work on developing a sequential hydrogen atom transfer and oxidative radical-polar crossover strategy that transforms C(sp3)–H bonds into carbocations functionalized by a variety of nucleophiles was published in Nature Communications. Great work and congratulations!
Stephen and Jesus’ paper on developing a biohybrid photocatalyst to perform thiol-ene coupling and cysteinyl-desulfurization reactions was recently published in Chem. Congrats to the whole team!
