OCTOBER 2001
Every October, the Center for Photochemical Sciences
hosts its annual Scientific Advisory Board Meeting. The
Center
for Photochemical Sciences Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of
distinguished scientists from major corporations and universities, who
assist the Center by reviewing its progress over the last year and offer
suggestions to help shape and facilitate its future direction.
This year the Advisory Board met on the morning
of October 19, 2001, for its annual executive session. The meeting
was followed by a poster session hosted by the students in the Department of Chemistry.
After a luncheon, special guest speaker, Dr.
Daniel L. Farkas from Carnegie Mellon University, presented his research
on Optical Bioimaging and Its Medical Applications.Dr. Farkas' talk
was followed by presentations from two Center for Photochemical Sciences
Ph.D. students -- Bilal Kaafarani and Evgueni Mychkine.
Bilal's presentation discussed Conjugated Triaryl
"Y-Enynes": Synthesis, Photochemistry, Stacking and Liquid Crystalsand
Evgueni presented his research on Analysis of Protein-Protein Interactions
Between Plastocyanin and Photosystem I in Prochlorophyte Prochlorothris
