Dominique Massiot “Order and disorder at the nanoscale geometry, chemistry, topology”
Dominique Massiot CEMHTI, UPR3079 Orléans http://www.cemhti.cnrs-orleans.fr/ Controlling the chemistry and the structure of materials is a key to understanding, tuning, and enhancing their properties. However, detailed structural and chemical characterization of materials in three dimensions, whether homogeneous or heterogeneous, remains challenging at the atomic and nanometer length scales. We have developed a panel of methods and approaches that combine new experimental solid-state NMR methods and DFT-based in silico modelling, which jointly enable characterization of chemical and geometrical order, as well …

Francesco Stellacci Institute of Materials, and Interfaculty Bioengineering Institute, Ecole Polytecnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, 1015, Switzerland Email: francesco.stellacci@epfl.ch Viruses kill every day in large numbers especially in low-income countries. Any given day ~1600 children age 1 to 5 die of diarrhea (mostly due to rotavirus). More than 5000 people have died of Ebola in the last outbreak. On the other hand, viruses also save lives as vaccines; unfortunately, because of their thermal instability, vaccines need constant refrigeration. This…

Prof. Dr. Thorsten Stafforst Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry, Auf der Morgenstelle 15, 72076 Tübingen (Germany) thorsten.stafforst@uni-tuebingen.de www.ifib.uni-tuebingen.de/research/stafforst/ RNA modifications shape the expression of genetic information in many ways. Tools to manipulate single nucleobases at specific sites in selected transcripts in vivo are rare. We are engineering artifical RNA-guided proteins that allow to perform site-directed RNA editing in a highly rational and specific way (1-5). We will present new data that demonstrate highly specific and parallel editing of several endogenous…

Pr Thorsten Bach Technische Universität München Chirality and Light: Enantioselective Catalysis of Photochemical Reactions Photocycloaddition reactions belong undisputedly to the most important reaction classes in photochemistry. The creation of up to four new stereogenic centers in a single step and the further use of the formed cyclobutane rings – either directly or after appropriate ring opening – are hallmarks of this powerful transformation. In our group, we have studied two different approaches to achieve a catalytic enantioselective reaction…

Prof. Frank Glorius Organisch-Chemisches Institut der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität e-mail: glorius@uni-muenster.de Catalysis is a key technology of our modern societies, since it allows for increased levels of selectivity and efficacy of chemical transformations. While significant progress can be made by rational design or engineered step-by-step improvements, many pressing challenges in the field require the discovery of new and formerly unexpected results. Arguably, the question “How to discover?” is at the heart of the scientific process. In this talk, strategies and discoveries…
