.UF Chemistry researchers develop broad-spectrum nanozymes for active & non-specific RNA degradation, even in the presence of RNAse inhibitors. This breakthrough has promising implications for treating cancer and RNA virus infections. 🧬 🔗: ufinnovate.technologypublisher.com/techcase/MP230…

Very proud of Erin M. Marshall (she/her) and Bastien Petit to present at ICNPR 2024 in Krakow, Poland. Cool bugs, chemistry, metabolomics, and neuro activity! Cant wait for ASP 2025! Sandra Loesgen (loesgenlab.bsky.social) Whitney Laboratory UF Chemistry pharmacognosy.us

Catalysts are important in creating compounds for the energy industry. UF Chemistry researchers developed a catalyst for cyclic polyalkynes, useful in the synthesis of conducting polymers, photoactive materials, solar cells, & flexible electronics. 🔗: ufinnovate.technologypublisher.com/techcase/MP220…

Thrilled to receive the promotion to full professor and a Colonel Allen R. and Margaret G. Crow Term Professorship at UF Chemistry! I am extremely grateful for my family, students, colleagues, and collaborators!

.UF Materials Science | Nuclear Engineering Program & UF Chemistry researchers created sunlight-harvesting windows with nanoparticle-embedded glass, redirecting light to photovoltaic solar cells within the frames. These windows produce four times more power while staying transparent! 🔗: ufinnovate.technologypublisher.com/techcase/MP149…

MSREC UF Chemistry is ready and excited for a great fall semester!!

Surprise! I never thought I would publish a paper in ACS Sensors. This was a fun project. Congrats to the team. Fluorogenic Aptamer–Thrombin Composite Reporter Enables Sensitive and Rapid Detection of Functional Antithrombin pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Integrating #MDANCE in MDAnalysis, going to #London, and winning a Best Talk award, what an end to a SUPREME summer for the legendary Lexin Chen #clustering UF Chemistry

When lab life gives you trouble- eat french pastries!! Thanks to the best TEAM after a rough week with mass specs down and -80 freezer failure. THIS is why we do science- it’s a team sport! Whitney Laboratory Sandra Loesgen (loesgenlab.bsky.social) 💕

Chemistry is fun! Undergrad extraordinaire Javier Hurst Javier Hurst's 1st author paper is out. Javier is applying for grad schools now, make sure you invite him for a visit, he can make molecules! UF Chemistry pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Mark your calendars for October 30! 📅 We are TWO months away from #StandingInnOvation2024, UF Innovate | Tech Licensing’s #celebration of innovation for FLORIDA’s finest. Our team is working hard to make this night bigger & better as we honor our #innovators in FY24! 💡 #IAmAUFInnovator . University of Florida Research

Bacteria are talented producers of #diterpenes. We screened 334 terpene synthases: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…. New skeletons, new stereoisomers, terpenes known in other organisms but new to bacteria. A massive team effort led by Xiuting Wei and Wenbo Ning! UF Chemistry
