Prof. Amanda Hargrove was named one of 34 prominent scientists moving Biochemistry into the future!  The Biochemistry "Future of Biochemistry: The International Issue" highlights Amanda's work toward RNA molecular recognition in Part Four of this special issue. Congratulations to Amanda and her lab on their recognition!  Read more on their exciting research in a recent edition of Biochemistry, available here.

Professor Kevin Welsher has received the prestigious NSF CAREER Award! Kevin’s research group will be developing "target-locked" microscopy tools to follow the rapid motions of single proteins and cellular cargo transport machinery within cells in real time. Congratulations to Kevin and his research group on receipt of this prominent award!

Congratulations to Dr. Felix Nwogbo!  Felix has been named as a recipient of the 2019 Samuel DuBois Cook Society Awards, which recognize individuals who routinely enrich the lives of people in the Duke community and contribute to the betterment of all people, above and beyond their given roles. Felix shares this award with Ms. Dionna Gamble, a graduate student in MGM. 

Congratulations to Professor David Beratan, the 2018 Murray Goodman Memorial Prize recipient! Professor Beratan will receive the award from Biopolymers in recognition of his seminal contributions to biophysics and their impact on our understanding of charge transport in biomolecules.

Ten theoretical chemists at Duke are launching a summer undergraduate research program for rising seniors, beginning in the summer of 2019.  Undergraduate students studying in North America (US, Mexico, and Canada) are invited to apply.  The program will run for about seven weeks and will provide a research stipend, housing, and a travel allowance.
