2017 Solar Eclipse viewing at IWU
Over 100 visitors stopped by the Burns roof patio to view the 2017 solar eclipse through a telescope, thanks to physics professor Steve Smith who organized the viewing event. Many put their cell phone cameras up to the telescope eyepiece to take pictures of the mostly eclipsed sun with some fairly good success.
Docking Studies of SHP-2 Inhibitor Candidates
This work, carried out in collaboration with Steve Leonard’s Lab at IWU, is aimed at simulating and characterizing potential inhibitor molecules in order to prioritize them for synthesis in the laboratory.
Membrane Studies
This project focuses on the ripple phase that occurs in synthetic phospholipid bilayers. Besides its intrinsic interest, the phenomenon is a window into lipid-lipid interactions with implications for real cell membranes.
