See attached a Job Opportunity in the Charleston area that may be a good fit for a soon-to-be or recent grad!
I graduated from CofC in Biochem, minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies (shout out Dr. Mullaugh on the awesome Environmental Chem class!) in 2017 and have worked at Kemira ever since, currently in Raw Material Coordinating and Sourcing. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me directly, through DM or email
[email protected]. I'm fine to chat and help you decide whether to submit a formal application! However - we are already scheduling interviews so the sooner the better. Start time can be after 2022 spring graduation.
Our SSM Dean stopped by Bosch yesterday to take ownership of a Thermo Fisher Scientific FTIR for our Department of Chem and Biochem at the College of Charleston. Thank you so much Bosch USA for supporting STEM programs at College of Charleston. We send graduates to top Ph.D. Chemistry programs in the U.S. thanks to undergraduate research and training on such instruments.
Addie Barnes (BS Chemistry, BA History, ‘23) is hard at work in the lab. She is running 25 parallel polymerization kinetics experiments to determine the best ratio of reagent and organic catalyst to use in her polymerization reaction.

Why is chemistry major Heidi Sabatini great at solving problems? Because she has all the solutions.

Dr. Kate Mullaugh, along with students from Chem and Biochem at the College of Charleston, participated in the Global Climate Strike as part of the CofC Alliance for Planet Earth - APE event on the Cistern Yard today.
Lane Kenan is working in Dr. Michael Giuliano’s lab to develop small peptide models of hydrophobic collapse, one of the critical initial components of protein folding that is often challenging to observe directly. These models will help better understand a fundamental stage of protein folding and inform the design of peptides that activate cell-surface receptors. She is studying these model peptides using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
Lane is pictured here purifying peptides using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Her work was supported by SSM/SC-INBRE funds and an SC-INBRE grant to Dr. Giuliano.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Amy Rogers for winning the 2021 Distinguished Teaching Award! We are proud of her and honored to have her as a colleague in our department.
Dani Gottlieb, Dean's List honoree and College of Charleston Honors College student, is working in Chem and Biochem at the College of Charleston with Dr. Boucher as a student research assistant conducting a solubility study of regiorandom P3HT proteins.
She is also in the Lowcountry EMS EMT-Basic program at CofC Fire & EMS that prepares students to provide basic emergency medical care to victims of trauma and illness. The course covers CPR, infection control, IV maintenance, weapons of mass destruction, hazardous materials, and more.
Extending a heartfelt thank you to our SSM colleague, donor, and friend Dr. James Deavor, Chair of Chem and Biochem at the College of Charleston. This CofC Day, Jim volunteered for the virtual call center and made personal gifts to initiatives including the Auerbach “Do Science” Scholarship and the SSM Diversity Enhancement Fund. Thank you, Dr. Deavor, for your longstanding commitment to SSM!
Action shot of the day! Kyle & Fabio have been working with a chemical modeling program MINEQL+ to determine the adsorption behavior of inorganic and organic pollutants on surfaces to determine how nanoparticles may be used for water treatment. Advisor: Dr. Mullaugh.
