Focused Research Program Faculty Awarded NSF EAGER Grant
Via Gina Mantica: Organic materials that convert electricity into light are greener than the more common inorganic materials often used in light emitting diodes, or LEDs. But organic materials for large scale display and lighting applications are more challenging to develop due to the cost and energy required for their production. Artificial intelligence can help […]

CMLD Researchers Publish Paper on “Remodeling” Natural Products in Nature Chemistry
CMLD-BU researchers Bradley Balthaser, Meghan Maloney, Aaron Beeler, John Porco & John Snyder, in a paper published in the journal Nature Chemistry [23 OCTOBER 2011 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.1178], present a new approach to accessing new, biorelevant structures by “remodeling” natural products. In this case, they demonstrate how the natural product derivative fumagillol can been remodeled […]
Finding NEMO: Multidisciplinary Team Searches for the Drugs of the Future
There are many medically important drug targets that current drug discovery technology is not able to address. Collaborative basic research in Chemistry, Biology, and Biochemistry is key to solving these intractable problems to enable the discovery of new classes of drugs. A multidisciplinary team at Boston University, led by Associate Professor of Chemistry Adrian Whitty, […]
