The BMB Seminar series features presentations by students in the Senior Seminar course. Current students are actively conducting research with BMB faculty and will showcase their research experiences and findings at these Tuesday seminars.
NEXT SEMINAR
April 7
Gottwald Auditorium, A001
12-1:15pm
Dr. Phoebe Stewart
Professor, Dept. of Pharmacology, Vice Chair for Education, Dept. of Pharmacology, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
The Gottwald Center for the Sciences is the home of the biology, chemistry and physics departments.
With 22 teaching laboratories and 50 student-faculty research laboratories, the space includes lab facilities for organic chemistry, biochemistry and neuroscience; a quantitative science center; a nuclear magnetic resonance center; and a digital biological imaging center.
In the latest episode, Julie Pollock, associate professor of the chemistry, and colleagues from other institutions test which method is best — deep fry, air fry, or pan fry. Dr. Pollock leads a lab that studies breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression.
"Chemists in the Kitchen" is a YouTube series by the National Academy of Science that follows a rotating cast of chemists who cook, experiment, and tinker with all types of recipes and ingredients.
Dr. Pollock was also featured on the Quick Pickles and Fermentation episode.
Carol Parish, Floyd D. and Elisabeth S. Gottwald Chair in Chemistry, published “Instability of Octahedral Symmetry in Si8O12H8 and Ge8O12H8: Consequence of the Pseudo-Jahn-Teller Effect” in the Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials.
Linda Boland, professor of biology, published “Colleges face a choice: Try to shape AI’s impact on learning, or be redefined by it” in The Conversation.
Carol Parish, Floyd D. and Elisabeth S. Gottwald Chair in Chemistry, along with students Marcos Hendler, ’25, and Travis Greene, ’23, and former postdoctoral research associate, Dominic A. Sirianni, published “The Effect of Chalcogen-Phosphorous Substituents on Enediynes Undergoing the Bergman Cyclization” in Inorganic Chemistry.
Angie Hilliker, associate professor of biology, along with Audrey J. Panko, '15, Aidan Winters, '17, and Nicholas R. Rothbard, '15, published "A genetic interaction between DED1 and HAT1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals a role for Hat1p in cytoplasmic RNA granule accumulation" in G3: Genes, Genomes, and Genetics.
Richmond is among the top 25 institutions in the small colleges category supporting Gilman Scholars. Since the program started in 2001, 118 University of Richmond students have been offered Gilman Scholarships.
