Dr. James P. Morken has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Morken received his doctoral degree from Boston College under the supervision of Professor Amir Hoveyda. Dr. Morken will continue research at Harvard University under the sponsorship of Professor Stuart Schreiber. His postdoctoral research will apply the techniques of modern combinatorial chemistry to the development of a general method for increasing the affinity of non-peptidic ligands for their natural receptors. By attaching the ligand to a combinatorial peptide library, followed by screening the library for binding to the target protein, it should be possible to identify sequences that establish reinforcing non-covalent interactions between ligand and receptor. 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.

James P. Morken博士被授予美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。Morken博士在Amir Hoveyda教授的指导下获得了Boston College的博士学位。Morken博士将在Stuart Schreiber教授的赞助下继续在哈佛大学进行研究。他的博士后研究将应用现代组合化学技术来开发一种通用方法，以增加非肽配体对其天然受体的亲和力。通过将配体连接到组合肽文库，然后筛选与目标蛋白结合的文库，应该可以识别出在配体和受体之间建立强化非共价相互作用的序列。化学博士后研究奖学金项目被视为一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。
