    Engineered Nanomaterial Interactions with Bacterial Cells A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ian Lyle Gunsolus IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Christy L. Haynes, Advisor May, 2016 © Ian Lyle Gunsolus 2016 Acknowledgements This dissertation is the product of many collaborations, small and large, professional and personal. Here I would like to acknowledge the generous support of all my collaborators, including professors, colleagues, friends, and family; without their support, this dissertation would not exist. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Christy Haynes, for building a research environment that helped me grow from a classroom student of chemistry to an independent researcher. By encouraging me to think beyond my independent work and actively engage with the broader scientific community, Christy has made me into a better scientist, and I thank her for it. I would also like to thank Prof. Philippe Bühlmann for his insightful contributions to my research throughout my thesis work. Through his service on my preliminary exam and thesis committees and his role as co-principal investigator (along with Christy) on research assessing the enviornmental behavior of silver nanoparticles, Phil has sharpened the focus of my research and deepened my critical analysis of chemical phenomena. My involvement in the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN) has been a highlight of my graduate studies, and I am greatful to all past and present CSN members. I would particularly like to thank Prof. Robert Hamers, whose example of leadership through dedicated service amazes and inspires me; Prof.

  • Biography: Christy Haynes Is the Elmore H. Northey Professor of Chemistry and a Distinguished Mcknight University Professor at T
    Biography: Christy Haynes is the Elmore H. Northey Professor of Chemistry and a Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota where she leads the Haynes Research Group, a lab dedicated to applying analytical and nanomaterials chemistry in the context of biomedicine, ecology, and toxicology. Professor Haynes completed her undergraduate work at Macalester College in 1998 and earned a Ph.D. in chemistry at Northwestern University in 2003 under the direction of Richard P. Van Duyne. Before joining the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2005, Haynes performed postdoctoral research in the laboratory of R. Mark Wightman at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Among many honors, she has been recognized as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, a Searle Scholar, a Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, and a National Institutes of Health "New Innovator." In addition to wide recognition for her research contributions, including over 180 peer-review publications, she has been recognized by her university as an Outstanding Postdoctoral Mentor and the Sara Evans Faculty Woman Scholar/Leader Award. Professor Haynes is currently the Associate Head of the University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry, the Associate Director of the National Science Foundation- funded Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology, and an Associate Editor for the journal Analytical Chemistry. Abstract: Engineered nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into devices and products across a variety of commercial sectors – this means that engineered nanoscale materials will either intentionally or unintentionally be released into the ecosystem. The long-term goal of the presented work is to understand the molecular design rules that control nanoparticle toxicity using aspects of materials science (nanoparticle design, fabrication, and modification), analytical chemistry (developing new assays to monitor nanotoxicity), and ecology (monitoring how nanoparticles enter and accumulate in the food web through bacteria and how these nanoparticles influence bacterial function).
