SUMMARY:Chemistry at the Frontline of Coronavirus - ACS Publications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A two-session virtual event featuring eight speakers and their highly cited articles on the characterization\, detection\, and prevention of COVID-19. \nWednesday\, May 4\, 2022 \n\nSession 1: 8:00AM EDT | 7:00AM CDT | 6:00AM MDT | 5:00AM PDT\nSession 2: 4:00PM EDT | 3:00PM CDT | 2:00PM MDT | 1:00PM PDT\n\nRegister: https://connect.acspubs.org/frontlinecoronavirus \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has presented myriad challenges that have been and will continue to be overcome through exceedingly rapid scientific advancement. In the midst of these developments\, scientists also had to adapt and change the way they conduct research and collaborate\, making the pace of their discoveries all the more impressive. As a credit to their tireless efforts and resilience\, researchers developed approaches to improve or establish our ability to prevent\, detect\, and treat COVID-19\, as well as to build the toolkit of available technologies in the event of future pandemics.\n\nWith this virtual event\, we are pleased to feature the authors of some of the most highly read and cited articles in ACS biological and analytical chemistry journals that shed light on aspects of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in follow up to our popular Chemistry in Coronavirus webinar from summer 2020 – it is exciting to witness the amount of progress made toward addressing the COVID-19 pandemic between that time and now.\n\nWe hope you will join us to hear from 8 exciting speakers as they highlight their work relating to the characterization and detection of SARS-CoV-2\, and prevention of COVID-19.\n\n\nAgenda\nSession 1 – 8:00AM – 10:05AM EDT (5:00-7:05AM PT)\n8:00AM – 8:05AM – Welcome and introduction by Nicole Camasso\, Lorraine Clark\, and Christina MacLaughlin\n\n8:05AM – 8:35AM – Metabolic Phenotyping to Assess Long-COVID in COVID-19 Patients by Elaine Holmes (Murdoch University)\n\n8:35AM – 9:05AM – Innovative FO-SPR Label-Free Strategy for Detecting Anti-RBD Antibodies in COVID-19 Patient Serum and Whole Blood by Dragana Spasic (KU Leuven)\n\n9:05AM – 9:35AM – Rapid Discovery of Potent Inhibitors of the Main Protease of SARS-CoV2 by William Jorgensen (Yale University)\n\n9:35AM – 10:05AM – Evaluation of Novel Computationally Designed SARS-CoV-2 Protease Inhibitors as Promising Preclinical Candidates by Karen Anderson (Yale University)\n\n\n\nSession 2 – 4:00PM – 6:05PM EDT (1:00-3:00PM PT)\n\n\n4:00PM – 4:05PM – Welcome and introduction by Nicole Camasso\, Lorraine Clark\, and Christina MacLaughlin\n\n4:05PM – 4:35PM – Discovery of Cannabinoid Acid Inhibitors of Cellular Entry by SARS-CoV-2 by Richard van Breemen (Oregon State University)\n\n4:35PM – 5:05PM – Discovering the Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 Evolution and Transmission by Guowei Wei (Michigan State University)\n\n5:05PM – 5:35PM – The Conserved Macrodomain is a Novel Therapeutic Target of Coronaviruses by Anthony Leung (Johns Hopkins)\n\n5:35PM – 6:05PM – Insights into SARS-CoV-2’s Mutations for Evading Human Antibodies: Sacrifice and Survival by Binquan Luan (IBM)

SUMMARY:The 46th Annual David M. Mason Lectures in Chemical Engineering - With Nobel Laureate Dr. Frances H. Arnold
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Title: Innovation by Evolution: Bringing New Chemistry to Life\nDr. Frances H. Arnold\, California Institute of Technology\n Sponsored by Stanford’s Department of Chemical Engineering\n4:30-5:30pm\, Jen-Hsun Huang Building\, NVIDIA Auditorium\, Free\, Learn more\n\nThe Department of Chemical Engineering is pleased to invite you attend our 46th Annual David M. Mason Lecture on Tuesday\, May 10\, from 4:30 – 5:30 pm. The lecture will be held in Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center – Nvidia Auditorium. Our distinguished speaker will be Dr. Frances H. Arnold\, California Institute of Technology’s Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Bioengineering and Biochemistry and director of the Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center. \nSpeaker Profile:\nDr. Frances Arnold\, the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Bioengineering and Biochemistry and Director of the Rosen Bioengineering Center at the California Institute of Technology\, became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2018) for pioneering directed evolution methods used to make enzymes for applications across medicine\, consumer products\, agriculture\, fuels and chemicals.  She was appointed Co-Chair of the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology (PCAST) by President Biden in 2021. Arnold received the Bower Award in Science in 2019\, the Millennium Technology Prize in 2016\, the Charles Stark Draper Prize in 2011\, and a 2011 National Medal of Technology and Innovation. \nShe is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Philosophical Society\, and the US National Academies of Science\, Medicine\, and Engineering; she was appointed to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences by Pope Francis in 2019.  Arnold received her B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley. \nLecture Title & Abstract:\nInnovation by Evolution: Bringing New Chemistry to Life\nNot satisfied with biology’s vast catalyst repertoire\, I want to create new enzyme catalysts and expand the chemistry of life. We use the most powerful biological design process\, evolution\, to optimize existing enzymes and invent new ones\, thereby circumventing our profound ignorance of how sequence encodes function. Chemistry encoded in DNA and optimized by evolution enables efficient\, sustainable routes to important fuels and chemicals. Evolution not only optimizes\, it can also innovate and create entirely new enzyme catalysts. I will illustrate how whole families of new-to-nature enzymes increase the scope of molecules and materials that can be built using synthetic biology.
