  • Department of Chemistry
    Department of Chemistry In the 2005–2006 academic year, the Department of Chemistry continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Currently there are 245 graduate students, 93 postdoctoral researchers, and 92 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2006, the Department faculty will comprise 32 full-time faculty members including 5 assistant, 4 associate, and 23 full professors, one an Institute Professor. In the fall, Professor Joseph P. Sadighi was promoted to associate professor without tenure, effective July 1, 2006; in the spring, Professor Timothy F. Jamison was promoted to associate professor with tenure, also effective July 1, 2006. In September 2005, Professor Arup K. Chakraborty took up a joint senior appointment as the Robert T. Haslam professor of chemical engineering, professor of chemistry, and professor of biological engineering. Professor Chakraborty obtained his PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He came to MIT from the University of California at Berkeley, where he served as the Warren and Katherine Schlinger distinguished professor and chair of chemical engineering, and professor of chemistry from 2001 to 2005. Highlights The Department of Chemistry had a wonderful year. On October 2, 2005, we learned that Professor Richard R. Schrock, Frederick G. Keyes professor of chemistry, had won the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the development of a chemical reaction now used daily in the chemical industry for the efficient and more environmentally friendly production of important pharmaceuticals, fuels, synthetic fibers, and many other products. Schrock Professor Richard R. Schrock speaking at a press shared the prize with Yves Chauvin of the conference at MIT on October 5, 2005.

  • CHEMISTRY Life in an RNA World
    wint'00.html Vol. I U · C H E M I S T R Y Life in an RNA World by Donald H. Burke, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Donald Burke joined the chemistry department as an assistant professor after receiving a PhD at the University of Califormia, Berkeley, and postdoctoral studies at the University of Colorado. We are indebted to him for this summary of the ongoing efforts in his and others' laborotories in this exciting research area. The Editors RNA-based life? It is the sort of thing they might have used on Star Trek, if they could have found a way to work it into the plot. They had creatures made from gigantic crystals, swarms of microscopic robots with a collective consciousness, and creatures that floated through outer space. Vulcan biochemistry was different enough that it used copper in place of iron to carry oxygen. Why not a cellular life form devoid of proteins, that used RNA molecules to perform catalysis and maintain genetic information? For the most part, if a macromolecule is doing work in a cell here on earth, that molecule is a protein, with a few notable, but isolated exceptions. Does it have to be that way? Can RNA replace proteins or even repair metabolic damage wrought by proteins that misbehave? The question lies at the heart of some avenues of biomedical and microbial engineering, and the answer may reveal much about the earliest forms of life on earth. The last four decades have seen a steady shift in the perception of RNA's role in biology.

In August, we welcomed three new faculty members: Jing Zhao (most recently a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Moungi Bawendi at MIT), Alfredo Angeles-Boza (coming from a postdoctoral stint with Professor Justine Roth at Johns Hopkins) and Michael Hren (a joint hire with Integrative Geosciences, Michael was an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee). This influx is coupled with plans to hire three additional faculty members for a Fall ’13 start in conjunction with the start of a new chemistry-based Center for Green Emulsions, Micelles and Surfactants (GEMS).

Jackie, without your guidance and inspiration, none of this work would have been possible. It has been incredibly exciting to work on these projects and I have really appreciated your passion and enthusiasm for them and for all of the science that goes on in your lab. I have learned so much in the time that I’ve been here, not the least of which how to be a good scientist. Thank you for your constant support, kindness, and confidence in me. I would also like to thank my thesis committee, Profs. Carl Parker, Nate Lewis, and Harry Gray, for their feedback and suggestions during my examinations. I very much appreciate their support and kindness, but willingness to ask tough questions and provide constructive criticism. I am extremely endebted to the numerous collaborators who have provided the materials, advice, and experimental expertise to complete the projects in this thesis. I would like to especially thank Prof. Dianne Newman and Prof. Jeffrey Gralnick. Their interest in this project has allowed us to think about things on an entirely different level – and our relationship with them really demonstrated, for me, the power of collaboration with people whose area of expertise is far different than my own.
