Chemistry Research Fest 2021 Awards<\/a>

Congratulations to two of our graduate students, Jennie Huynh and Pintu Kanjilal, on their awards in this year’s Research Fest! They were able to effectively convey their science to the community earning them both the William E. McEwen Fellowship Award for Outstanding Posters. Research Fest is an annual Chemistry department conference where students from different groups join together to share their amazing work. We also welcomed new incoming students, connected with vendors, and heard from amazing academic and industrial guest speakers. Hope to see everyone next year!<\/p>\n

Developing a rapid at-home COVID-19 test<\/a>

Some exciting work is being done in our lab in collaboration with the Hardy and Andrew Research Group! Here, we’re developing a “smart swab” at-home test kit. Due to the current pandemic, the most important aspect to slowing down the spread is through testing. Our design is similar to a pregnancy test, where one can take a swab of either their nose or throat and observe a color change due to the presence of a protein found from the virus.<\/p>\n

Polymer Photovoltaics Featured on JACS editorial<\/a>

The work by Sankaran Thayumanavan and colleagues at UMass Amherst, with others at the University of California-Riverside, is highlighted in the current issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) for the clever way it mimics Nature’s way of harnessing solar energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Label-free Ligand Screening Featured in C&E News<\/a>

Researchers have designed a new small molecule probe that binds to a protein and emits a fluorescent signal only when a drug molecule displaces it (J. Am. Chem. Soc., DOI: 10.1021\/ja301204z). The chemists hope that the probe will provide a simple, rapid method to screen drug candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-686","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3379,"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/686\/revisions\/3379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elements.chem.umass.edu\/thaigroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
