    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).

    Bacterial Response to Nanoparticles at the Molecular Level A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY TIAN (AUTUMN) QIU IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Christy Haynes, Advisor May 2018 © Tian (Autumn) Qiu 2018 Acknowledgements I want to sincerely thank my thesis advisor, Prof. Dr. Christy Haynes, for her endless support during the past six years. I’ve probably said “thank you” a million times to her in person and in emails, but there is never enough. Her enthusiasm and optimism in science (it’s contagious!) motivate me, and as a student from a different cultural background, her dedication to building a diverse and dynamic working environment makes the group a wonderful place for working and learning. It is my honor working with Christy, and I could not have imagined having a better advisor as passionate, professional and caring as she is. I would like to thank the whole Haynes group, with whom I have had great pleasure working and being friends with. I am thankful to many Haynes people, including but not limited to: Dr. Ian Gunsolus, Dr. Melissa Maurer-Jones and Ben Meyer for guiding me when I firstly joined the group, Dr. Solaire Finkenstaedt-Quinn for colorful calendars and cat pictures, Dr. Katie Hurley, Dr. Victoria Szlag and Nathan Klein for being movie night buddies, Dr. Zhe Gao and Bo Zhi for hanging out together, Joe Buchman for always being there to help and have a laugh with, Natalie Hudson-Smith and Peter Clement for inspiring conversations, and everyone in lab for working, learning and having fun together.

  • Striving to Be the Best Division for You
    www.analyticalsciences.org DAC NEWSLETTER Fall 2010 Striving to Be the Best Division for You ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Mission Statement Improving people’s lives through the transforming power of analytical chemistry and promoting the community of analytical scientists My statement gives you a progress report on our work to better serve you, the members of the division of Analytical Chemistry (ANYL). A Strategic Planning meeting was held on February 27 and 28, 2010 during Pittcon. ANYL decided to undertake three initiatives over the next three years: ¾ ANYL will become an important professional support system for analytical chemistry. ¾ ANYL will be a financially sustainable organization that serves the members of the division. ¾ ANYL will be a more visible organization with broader engagement with Dr. Dorothy J. Phillips members, the general public and the scientific community. Division Chair While we are still flushing out and establishing metrics for these initiatives progress is being made. Two new standing committees have been established to drive them: Finance Committee with Treasurer as Chair and Program Committee with Program Chair and Chair-Elect in the leadership roles. Filling the vacant Fund-raising Committee Chair role will strengthen the Finance Committee (would you like to serve in this position?). The web editor is working diligently with the related committee to develop the content of a members-only section of our website that will add value to your membership. The Division has a five-year contract with an organization that is efficiently performing our administrative functions. Scientific Association Management has made my year as Chair run smoother than I could have anticipated and I am sure it will be a positive addition to your experience in ANYL as well.
