"Projects in the Trakselis laboratory center on understanding the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and repair and exploiting this knowledge for cancer therapeutics, biotechnology, and nanoscale applications. We utilize a model archaeal DNA replication system which shares significant homology to that of higher eukaryotes but is amenable to in vitro biochemistry experiments. This allows us to draw parallels between different domains of life using simpler replication systems." Dr. Mary Lynn Trawick ([email protected])
"The Trawick Group focuses on the design and evaluation of new compounds as therapeutic agents through enzyme kinetics and assays, mammalian cell culture, molecular modeling and protein purification." Dr. Jung-Hyun Min ([email protected])

"Research in the Martin group is focused on developing new avenues in organoboron chemistry. Our research is focused on achieving unusual bonding arrangements around the boron center and subsequently exploring the chemistry of these novel compounds. The desired compounds will be examined for their utility in optoelectronics, Lewis acid mediated catalysis and small molecule activation reactions. Our research interests span the fields of organic, organometallic and materials chemistry." Dr. Brian Lindley ([email protected])

"At the heart of our research interests is the chemistry and biology of natural products. These are unique and often structurally complex molecules that are designed to interact in highly specific ways with various cellular receptors and by homology those found in humans. Thus, all our projects begin with natural products and encompass: (i) development of novel synthetic strategies enabling access to derivatives in route to the natural product through 'bioactivity-guided retrosynthesis' (ii) discovery of novel reactivity of unsaturated acylammonium salts for organocascade processes with applications to natural products (iii) microscale, chemo- and site-selective functionalization of natural products for inquiries into cell biology including cellular target identification (iv) mass spectrometry based-profiling of the cancer proteome with natural product probes (v) CO2 fixation for beta-lactone synthesis and natural product derivatization."

"Starting with Wohler's total synthesis of urea almost two centuries ago, the chemical synthesis of naturally occurring molecules has inspired creativity and led chemists to make important advances in areas ranging from drug development to materials science. Unlike many fields where the target of research efforts is defined by the researcher - allowing convenient adjustment to match shortfalls in capability - the goal in natural products synthesis is predefined by nature and the challenge is to develop methods and strategies that allow for the solution of a precise problem; however, for most molecules there is an infinite number of conceivable syntheses. Thus, these intriguing products from nature represent a virtually limitless source of inspiration to chemists; no matter how many times they are targeted for synthesis or successfully prepared, they continue to fuel creativity and scientific achievement in our field and beyond."
