ChemBiochem internships to apply student knowledge

ChemBiochem internships to apply student knowledge

Undergraduate students studying chemistry or biochemistry will now have the opportunity to apply for a paid internship in their third year of study.

The new internship program will ensure that placements are relevant to each student’s interest, and will be a valuable asset for any students wanting to use their classroom knowledge to conduct research in a professional setting.

The program will also offer a job preparation module designed to help students create resumes, write cover letters, and prepare for interviews.

Chemistry and biochemistry students will get the chance to use knowledge attained in the classroom to conduct research in a professional setting.

“Students have come forward saying they want this real-life experience,” says Simon Rondeau-Gagné, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the first department in the Faculty of Science to offer a paid internship program.

“Students will now get to use their knowledge gained from inside the classroom within the context of the workplace.”

Dean of science Chris Houser says students become more employable when they get out of the classroom and experience hands-on research while working in the industry.

“We understand that a degree is important, but to succeed in today’s world you need to be a well-rounded individual with a background of related experience,” says Dr. Houser. “And this is what the new internship program will offer our students.”

While other schools have been offering co-op programs, most places offer multiple single-semester placements, each with a different employer.

“That type of program often does not allow for students to build a strong relationship with their employer,” says Dr. Rondeau-Gagné.

The offered internships are instead one single placement with the same employer over a longer period of time. This also means that companies will invest more time and effort into training students, which will lead to a stronger relationship between interns and their employers.

“This stronger relationship allows for a better training of the students directly in the workplace, ultimately helping them to enter the job market after completing their degree,” Rondeau-Gagné says.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is accepting applications through Monday, September 17. To learn more about the internship opportunity or submit an application, visit the program website.

Abstract

When molecules transition from solution into the condensed phase, their behavior and properties are to a large extent governed by intermolecular interactions.  Despite the fact that such chemical bonds are relatively weak and reversible they are critically important to solubility, thermal and mechanical stability, optical properties, and many other key performance parameters of modern materials.  Consequently, if we want to acquire the ability to design and construct new materials through a bottom-up approach that is both robust and versatile, we need a better understanding of the structural consequences, and balance between, intermolecular forces.  In addition, we also need to establish more reliable and tangible connections between molecular structure and materials properties.  In this presentation we will examine how several fundamental physical properties of a substance can be modified and ‘dialed-in’ through the use of co-crystallization technologies that are firmly anchored in a fundamental understanding of intermolecular forces.   Applications relevant to pharmaceutics, agrochemicals, and explosives will be presented.

Neutron research centre to open doors for UWindsor chemistry grad students

Neutron research centre to open doors for UWindsor chemistry grad students

As the summer heat builds, four UWindsor chemistry and biochemistry students are planning a unique August trip. Instead of a typical beach holiday, the small research team, led by professor Drew Marquardt, will head to one of the two North American neutron research facilities to carry out first-of-its-kind research into neutron scattering.

Masters students Mitchell DiPasquale and Michael H.L. Nguyen submitted the successful proposal to use the Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Their project is called “Measuring the bending rigidity of a eukaryotic (asymmetric) plasma membrane mimic with Neutron Spin Echo.” They will be joined by fellow graduate researchers Brett Rickeard and Jacqueline Gemus.

Mitchell DiPasquale and Michael H.L. Nguyen will conduct an experiment next month in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Neutron scattering allows scientists to explore the structure and dynamics of materials, down to atomic length scales, as an alternative and compliment to X-rays. Neutrons carry no charge and are magnetic and can be used to advance scientific research in drastic and unique ways, including medical advancements in drug delivery, cancer treatments or even to discover a new class of magnetic material for faster and safer storage of data in cell phones.

“We were a little baffled that our slightly obscure project was one of the few accepted by the academic peer reviewed panel,” says DiPasquale. “In fact, the panel said we were the only suitable candidates to perform this experiment on the latest equipment, based on what we’ve already accomplished in Dr. Marquardt’s lab — it is a real confidence boost.”

The researchers are looking at model mammalian plasma membranes, with a lab-designed asymmetrical membrane. DiPasquale says the neutron beam will help them measure performance down to a width of 50 or 60 atoms and will give them information on how native cell membranes behave.

DiPasquale says their study has implications in all biological interactions.

“We know proteins associate with membranes but how and why that actually occurs is unknown — this is a foundational experiment about processes we know happen, without knowing how they actually happen,” he says.

“The data we’ll gather from using the NSE would be unattainable by other methods, and this is a relatively new method of using neutrons, so it gives us an opportunity to explore something we didn’t think we’d ever get to investigate. That is exciting science.”

The group will receive 11 days of access to the Neutron Spin Echo, which is worth about $5,000 a day. Marquardt says the only Canadian neutron scattering facility was permanently shut down earlier in 2018 and the United States has two facilities, but one is on a one-year scheduled maintenance shutdown, making the success of their proposal extremely impressive.

“We’ll have access to the most complex neutron scattering instruments in the world that can produce non-destructive, highly penetrative beams that are powerful enough look into an engine block without cutting the block in half,” says Dr. Marquardt.

“The incredible part is that hundreds of research projects wanting to use the facility are turned down each year because there is simply not enough beam time to go around, and our project was accepted based on the application that my two grad students submitted as a graduate course assignment.”

Nguyen is looking forward to the opportunity.

“Not many Canadian university students have the opportunity to go on a trip of this calibre,” he says. “This will no doubt allow us to further apply our skills in a more meaningful way.” 

The group plans to produce an academic paper with the data collected. Watch this video to better understand the possible scientific applications of neutron scattering.

Abstract: 
The use of hypervalent I(III) reagents for the oxidation of late transition metals is a topic of major interest. In particular the groups of Sanford and Ritter have used I(III) compounds such as PhICl2 and PhI(OAc)2 to access Pd(IV) complexes, which have been used mainly in stoichiometric and catalytic C-H activations. The Dutton group has been studying the use of dicationic I(III) complexes [PhI(pyridine)]2+ as  oxidants for late metals for chemistry involving Pd(IV), Pt(IV) and Au(III). Most significantly we have used this method to synthesize homoleptic Au(III) trications, which represent a new family of gold compounds. These Au(III) trications can be used to access unique reactivity between gold and water, as well as extremely rare examples of Au(III)-F complexes, generated using simple fluoride sources such as KF.

Chemistry research centre to build on strengths in organic materials

Chemistry research centre to build on strengths in organic materials

Three researchers will head up a new Functional Organic Materials Research Centre with grants totaling $700,000 from the Canada Foundation for Innovation(CFI), the Ontario Research Fund and contributions from industry partners.

The centre will allow chemistry and biochemistry professors Tricia Carmichael, John Trant, and Simon Rondeau-Gagné to expand on their current research into designing and synthesizing new organic materials to create wearable electronics, stretchable transistors, and highly specified drug delivery methods.

“This supports the infrastructure we already have in place, and provides new and essential instrumentation that will bolster our ability to do leading edge research,” says Dr. Trant.

Dr. Carmichael is a leader in stretchable electronic devices. This centre will give her new tools to characterize electrically functional materials and devices for stretchable and wearable electronics applications, and she says this new infrastructure will create a world-class interdisciplinary facility.

“The research we can now pursue will lead to new innovative materials for use in the rapidly growing wearable electronics market, ‘smart’ drug-delivery technologies and biomedical devices, as well as new self-healing materials,” says Carmichael.

Synthetic chemist Trant investigates triggerable drug delivery devices to help fight cancer and certain autoimmune diseases. He says this infrastructure is necessary to move forward on this research, which includes designing chemotherapy drug delivery methods that would target cancer cells and avoid healthy cells.

“I will get a custom-built peptide synthesizer — which is essentially a robot that makes peptides,” says Trant. “This made-to-order robot will be designed specifically to work with unnatural, high-value amino acids and allow ready recovery of them and will be the first of its type in the world.”

Dr. Rondeau-Gagne’s lab uses materials to build new types of transistors needed for innovative bio-electronics. He requires specialized tools to measure difficult-to-define polymers.

“We are designing the centre to be able to create new biomaterials and polymers to go from design, to preparation at large scale, and get to the final application in electronics,” says Rondeau-Gagné.

“The centre is the connection between all our capabilities and this is about delivering innovative, final applications with state-of-the-art materials. It is why we call it functional materials, because it won’t give us just the capabilities of working with our research program, but also to expand and really get that materials expertise.”

Dean of science Chris Houser says with recent strategic research hires, the University of Windsor has attained a critical mass of researchers focusing on organic materials, which makes it one of the strongest departments in Canada in this field. Together with this new research centre, they can start training the next generation of materials scientists.

“This builds momentum with research, but with Science UWindsor’s commitment to undergraduate training, we are also going to have undergrads working with this state-of-the-art equipment so that when they graduate, they will have worked with the absolute top line in equipment and materials science methods,” says Dr. Houser.

“This also makes us highly competitive, with researchers around the province, the country, and even from Michigan, wanting to come and use this equipment.”

The centre will be housed in the Faculty of Science’s new research facility and will be divided into two major biomaterials and bioelectronics platforms, and includes advanced instrumentation such as a custom-built peptide synthesizer, an ultra-high-temperature gel permeation chromatography system, and a cutting-edge transistor fabrication station.
