[Chemistry_faculty] Kohler Lecture 2/6-7: Prof. Chad Mirkin

[Matthew Conley]

Dear All,


The Kohler lecturer is Prof. Chad Mirkin from Northwestern University. He
will be visiting us to give two seminars on Tues Feb 6th (Student Success
Center 335) and Wed Feb 7th (Bourns A125). The signup sheet to meet with
him can be found here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/11putS_sld-SKGpaeiU9-bFRKJDw4VsedNY1yniZAkOk/edit>
.


The Mirkin group researches methods for controlling the architecture of
molecules and materials on the 1 – 100 nm length scale. His group studies
the fundamental properties of these structures to develop novel analytical
tools that can be applied broadly to the biological, chemical, and
materials sciences. One particular focus under this umbrella is the use of
nanoparticle-biomolecule conjugates as synthons in these applications. For
example, the Mirkin group is known applications of spherical nucleic acids
(SNAs) and SNA-based biodetection and therapeutic schemes, the invention of
Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) and related cantilever-free nanopatterning
methodologies, On-Wire Lithography (OWL), Co-Axial Lithography (COAL), and
contributions to supramolecular chemistry and nanoparticle synthesis. More
details can be found here <https://mirkin-group.northwestern.edu>.



Prof. Mirkin is the author of over 850 manuscripts and over 1,200 patent
applications worldwide (over 400 issued), and the founder of multiple
companies, including Nanosphere, AuraSense, TERA-print, Azul 3D, MattIQ,
and Flashpoint Therapeutics. Mirkin has been recognized for his
accomplishments with over 250 national and international awards.


Best

Matt
