We are pleased to announce the return of the Chemical and Structural Biology seminar series for the spring quarter of 2017. Each week, one of the graduate student fellows supported by the Chemical and Structural Biology Training Program at UCI will give a presentation (~30 minutes) on their research. The talks will be held on Mondays at 12:00 in Natural Sciences II room 4201. Pizza and soft drinks will be provided. Graduate students in CSB-participating labs are encouraged to attend. The presentation schedule is included below. We hope to see you there!

Following the successful dissertation defense by Dr. Hollingsworth, the first CSB predoctoral fellow to reach this stage, we are proud to reveal the new CSB alumni page on the CSB website. This new page will list all CSB fellows following their thesis defense to keep a record of those individuals that have been apart of the CSB program at UC Irvine.

The Chemical and Structural Biology (CSB) Training Program at UC Irvine is proud to present the first CSB sponsored Ph.D. thesis defense on Thursday, May 26th, 2016 at 2pm in Natural Sciences 2, room 1201. Scott Hollingsworth (CSB 2014) from the Poulos Lab and the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry will be presenting some of the work he has done during his graduate career in a talk entitled:

“At the interface of experiment and computation: explorations of heme protein redox partner interactions, water behavior on organic surfaces and other systems.”

In addition to being supported by the CSB program, Scott has also been supported by our sister training program in cancer biology in the Ayala School of Biological Sciences, as well as collaborating with AirUCI in the School of Physical Sciences.

So, come by on May 26th at 2pm to learn about some of the work that has been sponsored by the CSB program as the first CSB fellow defends their thesis.
