Turner Funded for Polymer Research
(June 30, 2009) Prof. Richard Turner has received a $370,000 grant from NSF to investigate rigid polyelectrolytes and double-hydrophilic rod-coil block copolymers. The project evolved from Prof. Turner's earlier work demonstrating precise alternation and functional group control in stilbene-maleic anhydride copolymers. Long-range applications are envisioned in areas such as bioactive coatings. (more on Turner ...)
Carlier Funded for Malaria Research
(April 12, 2009) Prof. Paul Carlier and his co-investigators Jeffrey Bloomquist (Entomology), Jianyong Li (Biochemistry), and Max Totrov (Molsoft LLC) have received a five-year research grant from the National Institutes of Health in the amount $3.6 million to develop resistance-breaking insecticides specific to the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.

Valeev Wins Sloan Fellowship
(February 17, 2009) Prof. Edward Valeev has been awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship. One of only 23 chemists to receive this award in 2009, Valeev is recognized partly for his prior contributions to electronic structure theory and partly for the exceptional promise of his ongoing and future research activities. The award includes an unrestricted $50,000 research grant. (more ...)
Madsen Wins CAREER Award
(December 19, 2008) Prof. Lou Madsen has received the 2008 NSF Career Award for his work on understanding anisotropy in ionomers using NMR spectroscopy. The $475,000 grant will support his efforts through 2013. (more on Madsen ...)
