Profiles in "Organic Chemistry" Expertise Area

  • Mills' research focuses on the use of computational protein design methods to engineer proteins in which non-canonical amino acids carry out important functions.
  • Stephanopoulos' interests include the synthesis of novel protein- and peptide-DNA nanomaterials and their application to biology, medicine, energy, and fundamental self-assembly.
  • As an organic bio electro chemist studying microbial electrophotosynthesis, I study how to interface electricity with the photosynthetic electron transport chain to understand what allows it to be more or less efficient.
  • Seo's spotlight areas of research include the development of sustainable polymers from renewable resources and advanced macromolecular composites.
