[cid:image005.png@01D18BF9.27135130]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Abraham M. Lenhoff Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering University of Delaware "Proteins in Ion-Exchange Adsorbents: The Inside Story" Tuesday, April 12, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Despite its inherent inefficiencies, chromatography remains the workhorse for protein purification in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, with ion exchange the most widely used mode. Many aspects of a chromatographic process are still optimized empirically, but there is an increasing recognition that a mechanistic understanding of the relation between adsorbent and protein structure and separation performance can be valuable in process design and optimization. This presentation will cover efforts to obtain such insights into the behavior of proteins inside chromatographic adsorbents. Approaches to be discussed include powerful experimental tools such as confocal microscopy and neutron and x-ray scattering, but there is also a critical role for fundamental principles of classical chemical engineering, albeit specialized for the peculiar physicochemical properties of protein solutions. Bio: Abraham Lenhoff is the Allan P. Colburn Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware, where he has been on the faculty since 1984. He earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Cape Town and Master's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin, all in chemical engineering. His research is primarily on application of principles of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, biophysics and colloid science to protein separations and phase behavior, especially chromatography and crystallization.

[cid:image002.png@01D18BF8.0CBFED30]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Daniel Chiu Department of Chemical Engineering University of Washington "Highly Fluorescent Semiconducting Polymer Dots for Biology and Medicine" Tuesday, March 22, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their outstanding characteristics as fluorescent probes. These nanoparticles, which primarily consist of conjugated polymers and are called polymer dots (Pdots) when they exhibit small particle size and high brightness, have demonstrated utility in a wide range of applications such as fluorescence imaging and biosensing. In this presentation, I will highlight work in my lab in the development of Pdots for biological detection, imaging, and sensing. Bio: Daniel T. Chiu is currently the A. Bruce Montgomery Professor Chemistry, Endowed Professor of Analytical Chemistry, and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. He is also a member of the University of Washington's Institute for Molecular Engineering as well as the Cancer Consortium of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Dr. Chiu obtained a B.A. in neurobiology and a B.S. in chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley in 1993, and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University in 1998. He completed postdoctoral research at Harvard University before joining the University of Washington in 2000.
