Yogesh Surendranath, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Using Electrochemistry to Understand and Control Sustainable Thermochemical Catalysis" Abstract: Frontier challenges in sustainability require precision control of catalysis occurring at solid-liquid interfaces. Unlike for gas-solid interfaces, at all solid–liquid interfaces, the exchange of ions and/or electrons with the solution can lead to electrostatic charging or polarization of the […]

Weixin Tang, University of Chicago "Advancing epigenetic profiling and genome editing through directed evolution " Abstract: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal mRNA modification in higher eukaryotes, depicts a regulatory network extensively involved in the mRNA life cycle. To elucidate the multitude of functions served by m6A, we developed evolved TadA-assisted N6-methyladenine sequencing (eTAM-seq), an enzyme-assisted […]
