PMSE is pleased to welcome this distinguished group of polymer scientists and engineers to the ranks of fellows. A short description of their work up to the point of the induction as a PMSE Fellow is on the following pages. http://www.pmsedivision.org DIVISION OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS: SCIENCE & ENGINEERING 2007 PMSE Fellow Induction Biographies 2007 PMSE Fellow James Crivello Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Prof. James Crivello received his B.S. in chemistry from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1962 and his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Notre Dame in 1966. He joined the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center in 1966 and was for several years a research project manger. His fields of activity include: organic nitrations, oxidations, and arylations, polyimides, silicones, and new photo- and thermal initiators for cationic and free radical polymerizations. In 1980, he was elected a Coolidge Fellow by the staff at GE Corporate Research and Development and spent the 1986-87 year as a visiting scientist at the University of Mainz with Prof. Helmut Ringsdorf in the Federal Republic of Germany.

  • Scripps Florida Funding Corporation Annual Report
    SCRIPPS FLORIDA FUNDING CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 Scripps Florida Funding Corporation Annual Report For Year Ended September 30, 2020 INTRODUCTION Florida Statute 288.955 (the “Enabling Statute”) created Scripps Florida Funding Corporation (“SFFC”) to facilitate the establishment and operation of a biomedical research institution for the purposes of enhancing education and research and promoting economic development and diversity. In addition, the Enabling Statute charged SFFC with the obligation to assure the compliance by The Scripps Research Institute (“TSRI”) with the Enabling Statute and the agreement between SFFC and TSRI (the “Operating and Funding Agreement”). The Enabling Statute provides that SFFC shall prepare or obtain certain reports, audits, and evaluations of TSRI’s compliance with the performance expectations and disbursement conditions contained in the Enabling Statute. As such, SFFC is submitting this Annual Report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, as required by the Enabling Statute to be submitted by December 1 of each year. This SFFC Annual Report addresses the activities and outcomes of SFFC and Scripps Florida (“SF”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”). The Scripps Florida Annual Report addressed the activities and outcomes of Scripps Florida for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the information in the Scripps Florida Annual Report was informally updated for this SFFC Annual Report. The SFFC Annual Report is presented in two parts: first, a summary that highlights the substantial events that have occurred during the year ended September 30, 2020; and second, an itemized report that corresponds with the applicable sections of the Enabling Statute.

He grew up in the Rhine Valley, studied Chemistry, Politics and Geology at the Universities in Frankfurt, Darmstadt, and Freiburg. In 1955 he entered Hermann Staudingers Lab as his very last student. After his Ph.D. in Freiburg in 1958, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with C.G. Overberger and Herman F. Mark at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (1960-1962). He taught Polymer Science and Organic Chemistry at the Universities Marburg (1962-1970) and Mainz (1971-1994). He still has the good fortune to be with young scientists as Adjunct Professor at the School of Pharmacy, University Cardiff/U.K. and at the Jilin University, Changchun/China. His awards include the H. Staudinger (Germany) as well as the H. Mark (Austria) Award, Polymer Science Award (USA). Honorary doctors from four Universities in four countries, the Friendship Award of the Chinese Government, member of Academies in Germany (Mainz, Düsseldorf), Russia (Moscow), and Italy (Catania). Based on the concept of molecular engineering of functional polymers and molecular assemblies the research interests of the group in Mainz were centred around the attempt to bridge the gap between Materials Science and Life Science as summarized in the following figure. Main research themes: Molecular architecture of functional liquid crystalline polymers, polymerization in oriented systems (micelles, multicompartment micelles, liposomes, monolayers, multilayers), properties of functional supramolecular systems, attempts to mimic biomembrane processes (enzyme functions, protein docking) and polymer therapeutics, e.g.

Since these days, we have met very frequently, for example, when I was privileged to lecture in Professor Finkelmann’s Institute and at many other scientific meetings not least of which was the Twelfth International Liquid Crystal Conference held in 1988 in Freiburg itself and chaired and organised by Professor Finkelmann. My wife and I well remember enjoying a glass of wine with Heino and his wife and two boys at their home after the closing ceremonies were complete and people like conference chairmen are at last allowed to relax. I have put the material in the above paragraph early in this article about Heino Finkelmann, because I wanted to stress that his very great contributions to the subject of liquid crystals have been not only in the area of scientific research, but also, by his readiness to travel far and wide to Heino Finkelmann was born in Gronau in Lower give lectures, by spreading the word on the subject, by Saxony in 1945.

  • Kalypsys to Provide the Florida Scripps Research Institute with Next- Generation Lead Discovery Technology
    KALYPSYS TO PROVIDE THE FLORIDA SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE WITH NEXT- GENERATION LEAD DISCOVERY TECHNOLOGY 6/15/2005 San Diego, June 16, 2005 — Kalypsys, Inc., a privately owned drug discovery and development company and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) entered into an agreement in which Scripps will access Kalypsys' proprietary ultra-high throughput screening technologies as a key enablement for the newly created TSRI site in Florida. "We are pleased to be selected for this Florida initiative," stated John P. McKearn, president and CEO of Kalypsys. "Developing a state-of-the-art research center will have a significant impact on Florida's economic development in the area of biotechnology and biomedical research and we are honored our technology has been selected to assist in this endeavor." The Kalypsys technology platform is designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of each partner. The platform is comprised of a suite of lead discovery solutions, including a highly automated, robotic, ultra-high throughput screening technology capable of screening a variety of biochemical and biologically relevant cellular assays in 1536-well formats. The power and robustness of the Kalypsys technologies make it ideally suited to probe a large number of diverse targets rapidly. With the Kalypsys system, Scripps Florida is developing leading-edge technologies to enable scientists to examine the basic biology of human health and find better treatments for a variety of devastating human diseases. A team of accomplished scientists is implementing research programs addressing diseases such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, obesity, prion diseases, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia among others. The research programs focus on genetic disease informatics, cancer biology, infectology, genetics, proteomics, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics.
