BCMB Students and Faculty present at American Chemical Society National Meeting

Alex Van Ooy, Katie O’Shea, Jenna Pellegino, Ivan Sokirniy, and Professor Reig present research at the 249th American Chemical Society Meeting held in Denver, CO.

Prof. Amanda Reig (Chemistry) and four BCMB students (Alex Van Ooy; BCMB ’15; Katie O’Shea, BCMB ’17; Jenna Pellegrino, BCMB ’17, and Ivan Sokirniy, BCMB ’15) presented their research at the 249th  American Chemical Society National Meeting in Denver, CO on March 22-24, 2015.  

Katie O’Shea (BCMB ’17), Jenna Pellegrino (BCMB ’17), and Ivan Sokirniy (BCMB ’15) each presented posters in a symposium entitled “Undergraduate Research at the Frontiers of Inorganic Chemistry” describing their recent research results working with Prof. Amanda Reig to use small protein models to understand the structure and reactivity of binuclear non-heme iron enzymes.  Prof. Reig presided over an oral presentation session in the same symposium focused on bioinorganic chemistry, in which she also presented a talk entitled “Understanding functional tuning in binuclear non-heme iron enzymes through systematic variation of the G4DFsc active site.”  

Prof. Reig and Ms. Pellegrino also co-presented a poster in the Chemical Education division on the HHMI-funded FUTURE program at Ursinus College, in which Ms. Pellegrino participated the summer prior to beginning her education at Ursinus.  The presentation was also selected for inclusion in the cross-divisional Sci-Mix poster session.

Alex Van Ooy, who conducts research with Prof. Dale Cameron, presented a poster in the Biological division entitled “Ribosome-associated complex antagonizes prion formation in yeast.”
