Basu Research Group

Our research continues to focus on metals in biological systems in relation to human health and the environment.

Our main research theme is the development of bioanalytical tools aiming towards preventive care applications. The interdisciplinary research is at the interface of Chemistry-Physics-(micro)Biology, with a particular focus on Electrochemistry.

Laulhé Lab

Research in the Laulhé group centers on strategies to induce selectivity in radical-based bond-forming reactions. Our efforts focus on the controlled generation of radicals via photoredox catalysis, organic electrochemistry, and metal-catalyzed technologies.

Webb Lab

Research focuses on advancing tools for structural biology and biophysical measurements.

Manicke Research Group

Our research focuses on developing new ways of applying mass spectrometry to difficult problems. Mass spectrometry is useful in such diverse fields as biomedical research and clinical testing, forensic science, homeland security, and food safety because of its sensitivity, specificity, and generality.

The Pu Research Group

Our interests lie at the interface between theoretical/computational chemistry and biophysics. The current research in the lab is directed towards understanding how biomolecules perform their functions via dynamical motions that are encoded in their three dimensional structures.

Sardar Group

Nanomaterials for Energy and Sensing

STEM Education Innovation & Research Institute (SEIRI)

SEIRI serves as the hub of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education innovation, research, evaluation and consultation and brings together expert educational researchers with scientists and discipline-based educational researchers in order to inform and reform undergraduate and graduate education across campus and beyond.

Deng Laboratory

Our research has a fundamental interest in developing innovative synthetic methodologies in organic chemistry, with a particular interest in the development of mutually beneficial substrate-catalysis concepts and their application to complex targets, especially biologically relevant compounds.

Minto Research Group

Versatility of Naturally Occuring Lipids - understanding and controlling the physical and biochemical processes involving lipids and cellular membranes is key to tackling many significant problems in the area of human health, energy and renewable resources.
