Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

9403071潜水员史蒂文·T·迪弗博士被授予美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。Diver博士在Edwin Vedejs教授的指导下获得了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的博士学位。Diver博士将在Stuart Schreiber教授的赞助下继续在哈佛大学进行研究。他的博士后研究目标将是树脂毒素的全合成。在工作过程中，他将发展2D-核磁共振、流式细胞术、凝胶电泳、蛋白质分离和纯化以及放射性同位素标记方面的技能。从长远来看，他将研究UCT4B对DNA-拓扑异构酶II“可切割复合体”的稳定作用。这项研究对于理解DNA双链断裂的原因很重要，将需要UCT4B和一些类似物的全合成。化学博士后研究奖学金计划被视为一个重要的基础设施计划，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，并吸引他们在当代化学研究和教学中从事有意义的职业。***

9403071 Diver Dr. Steven T. Diver has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Diver received his doctoral degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Professor Edwin Vedejs. Dr. Diver will continue research at Harvard University under the sponsorship of Professor Stuart Schreiber. His postdoctoral research will target the total synthesis of resinaferatoxin. In the course of the work he will develop skills in 2D-NMR, flow cytometry, gel electrophoresis, protein separation and purification and radioisotope labelling. Longer term he will study the stabilization of DNA-topoisomerase II "cleavable complex" by UCT4B. This research, important to the understanding of why DNA double strands break, will require the total synthesis of UCT4B as well as some analogs. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph.D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching. ***
