| Chemistry majors have been engaged in research here at ENC and in various other off-campus programs for more than the 50 years. These activities are often arranged through faculty professional connections. These off-campus activities are sponsored by area universities and companies that offer research opportunities. In addition to the many opportunities in the Boston area, some students have obtained opportunities in places away from the Boston area such as Utah and Los Alamos New Mexico. Most of the time, these activities are part of a CH499 Independent Study Research course for which the student receives credit. Summer 2006 - Tennyson DoaneTenny has received a prestigious Undergraduate Summer Student Appointment with the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Division at the LosAlamos National Laboratory. The Actinide Chemistry and Repository Science Program (ACRSP) team, as part of the EES-12 group located in Carlsbad New Mexico, is investigating the environmental chemistry of multivalent actinides and analogs in the subsurface. Tenny will work in a well equipped laboratory and utilize a wide spectrum of analytical techniques to perform this work that includes absorption spectrometry, electrochemical techniques, laser spectroscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray analysis, ICP-MS, ion and gas chromatography, and radiochemical counting techniques. Summer 2005 - Andrea Steigleder Andrea participated in a 10 week NSF-REU program at the University of Utah. Her project involved the identification of the human lung specific factor that regulates the CYP2F1 gene. In this project she attempted to process nuclear extracts from human lung cells, or from human lung tissues, to obtain partially purified proteins and determine the identity of the protein(s) that bind to a specific region of the human CYP2F1 gene. In characterizing the proteins, she made use of a variety of techniques including mass spectrometry, affinity chromatography, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and HPLC. |

- American Chemical Society - The American Chemical Society is a self-governed individual membership organization that consists of more than 159,000 members at all degree levels and in all fields of chemistry. The organization provides a broad range of opportunities for peer interaction and career development, regardless of professional or scientific interests. The programs and activities conducted by ACS today are the products of a tradition of excellence in meeting member needs that dates from the Society's founding in 1876.
