🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨
Excited to share our latest perspective on activatable porphyrins published in @JACS_Au! 🎉 Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
Congrats Suri, Joe and Musa!!
Our perspective on "Activatable Porphyrin-Based Sensors, Photosensitizers and Combination Therapeutics" is out on @JACS_Au @ACSPublications where we have compiled recent advancements in activity-based sensing porphyrin chemistry in biomedical applications!

ALT Seven headshots of the 2025 recipients of the ACS Pride Merck Graduate Research Award are shown on a tan background with their names, pronounces, and institution are displayed. Additionally, the Merck green and gray name logo are shown under the "sponosred by" byline. The ACS PROF Divsion and Pride subdivision logos are also on the graphic.
Our new bioluminescent logic-gate probe for ALDH1A1 is now published in @JACS_Au ! Congrats to Chelsea, Musa, Lily and team on this work.

Great visit from @ChanLabUIUC. He shared his research on chemicals to detect invisible disease states via photoacoustic imaging which is a state-of-the-art technique that generates ultrasound signals from light, which can be detected and converted into high-resolution 3D images.

How robust fluorophores resist photobleaching? We reviewed the state-of-the-arts photostable fluorophores, particularly focusing on Cyanines and Rhodamines. Thanks a bunch to @SchnermannLab and @ChanLabUIUC for the invitation!

ALT Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) researcher Jeff Chan and Ph.D. student Suritra Bandyopadhyay.
Laura Bickart graduated with BA in Chemistry from @smithcollege. Her undergrad thesis focused on synthesis of DNA-conjugated small molecule catalysts for efficient and targeted drug delivery. For fun, Laura enjoys hiking, rock climbing, baking, and reading!
Samantha Dye graduated with BA from @albioncollege in Biochem. Her undergrad thesis focused on synthesis of smoothened inhibitor photoswitchable compounds and their use as therapeutics. When not in lab you can find her singing at church, or helping with an Am. Can. Soc. event!
Justin Ahrens graduated from @waynestate with a B.S. degree in Biochem. and Chem, Bio. His undergrad research focused on studying octahedral Ir(III) Photosensors to monitor drug metabolism in CP450 active site. He enjoys sporting events, cooking, & hosting monthly game nights.
Harshika Varadhan graduated with a B.S. in Chem. & Biomed. Engg. from @CarnegieMellon. As an undergrad, her research involved synthesizing amino acid-coated Cu NPs for enantiomeric separation of chiral drugs. When not working in lab, she loves to dance, watch reality TV, and bake
