  • 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.

  • Folliculogenesis and Fertilization in the Domestic Dog: Application to Biomedical Research, Medicine, and Conservation
    FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATION TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jennifer Beth Nagashima August 2015 © Jennifer Beth Nagashima FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATIONS TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION Jennifer Beth Nagashima, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 Understanding of reproductive biology in canids, including the domestic dog, is surprisingly limited. This includes the regulators of ovarian follicle development, and mechanisms of anestrus termination, fertilization and embryo development. In turn, this lack of understanding has limited our ability to develop assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for endangered canid conservation efforts. ART of interest include in vitro follicle culture for maternal genome rescue, estrus induction protocols, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, we describe: 1) Studies evaluating the stage-specific requirements for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and activin on domestic dog follicle development in vitro. We demonstrate the beneficial effects of FSH and activin on growth, and activin on antrum expansion and oocyte health in short term culture. 2) Evaluation of serum collected during the anestrus to estrus transition revealing a significant increase in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) during proestrus, likely originating from increased numbers of antral follicles during this time. 3) The birth of the first live puppies from IVF embryos utilizing in vivo matured oocytes. Further, consistently high rates of embryo production are obtained using the described system, with no effect of progesterone supplementation to embryo culture media.

  • 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.

As new technology is enabling scientific advancement and healthcare reform is extending care to more Americans, research on sex-based differences across all body systems must become the norm. When we look at research and care through a sex-inclusive lens, our research investments will accelerate discovery and improve the quality of care for men and women.

  • Charles Robert Cantor (1942- ) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Charles Robert Cantor (1942- ) [1] By: Abboud, Alexis Keywords: Sequenom [2] non-invasive prenatal genetic testing [3] Charles Robert Cantor helped sequence the human genome [4], and he developed methods to non-invasively determine the genes [5] in human fetuses. Cantor worked in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His early research focused on oligonucleotides, small molecules of DNA or RNA. That research enabled the development of a technique that Cantor subsequently used to describe nucleotide sequences of DNA, a process called sequencing, in humans [6]. Cantor was the principal scientist for the Human Genome Project, for which scientists sequenced the entirety of the human genome [4] in 2003. Afterwards, Cantor became the chief scientific officer for Sequenom Inc., a company that provided non-invasive prenatal genetic testing. Such tests use a pregnant woman's blood to identify genetic mutations in a fetus [7] during the first trimester [8] of pregnancy [9]. Cantor was born on 26 August 1942 to Ida Dianne and Louis Cantor in Brooklyn, New York. As a high school student, he participated in a science program for high school seniors administered by Columbia University [10] in New York, New York. Afterwards, Cantor attended Columbia for his undergraduate degree. While there, Cantor took a course in population genetics taught by Richard Lewontin. Cantor later reported that the course and Lewontin influenced him to pursue biology. Cantor graduated from Columbia in 1963 with his degree. He then pursued doctoral studies in physical chemistry under Ignacio Tinoco Jr.
