#RAKweekshoutout to Andrei Loas! Andrei does an amazing job of managing the Pentelute lab and enthusiastically engaging with lab members, keeping spirits high even in the depths of winter!! - Stephen Byrne

Join us for the MIT 24-Hour Challenge to support quantum dots research--tiny particles of semiconductor materials used in biomedical imaging (applications for illuminating tissues to guide doctors in surgery) and potential for quantum computing--and more! giving.mit.edu/24hc-chemistry

Sensing speed is critical in food safety testing. Professor Tim Swager's lab devised a method to create Janus emulsions--synthetic particles that mimic the surface of living cells--to speed up sensing at a low cost. Support this research and more today! giving.mit.edu/24hc-chemistry

Women in Chemistry+ hosted an inaugural "Celebrating Women's Careers in Chemistry" event bringing together students, scientists, and industry representatives from all across New England for an evening rich in sharing science and research. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

In this Graduate Student Spotlight, Andrea Marcano Delgado shares how growing up in Puerto Rico inspired her current PhD studies, what big mystery she'd like to unravel, what invention has greatly improved the world, and more! chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

We are saddened by the recent loss of Fred Greene, professor emeritus and physical organic chemist. A member of our community for over 40 years, he was a beloved professor and mentor, celebrated for his lasting impact on generations of chemists. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

A study published in Nature Genetics details a new computational framework--MESA--that uses ecological theory to map cellular diversity and spatial patterns in tissues, offering new insights into disease progression. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Congratulations to Rebecca Reid who will join the Department of Chemistry staff as our new Senior Financial Officer. Welcome, Rebecca! chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
