Students work side by side with faculty to engage in original research. Projects include the cloning and analysis of virulence-associated proteins of a bacterial pathogen, organic synthesis of cyclopropyl derivatives of liquid crystal structures for electronic devices, synthesis of polymer-gold nanocomposites for diagnostic imaging and possible treatment of cancer, and theoretical modeling of strained molecules.
Students gain extensive hands-on experience with advanced instruments such as 300 MHz FT-NMR, FT-IR, GC-MS, AAS, Diode-array UV-Vis, HPLC, FPLC, DSC, SEM, and PCR.
Students learn to think critically and communicate clearly.
