Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

Andrew L.博士Feig被授予NSF博士后研究 化学研究金。 Feig博士获得了博士学位， 马萨诸塞州导师教授 斯蒂芬·利帕德。 菲格博士将继续在密歇根大学进行研究。 在奥尔克·乌伦贝克教授的赞助下，在博尔德的科罗拉多。 他的博士后研究将致力于了解 金属离子和锤头状核酶之间的关系 我们的目标是了解 金属离子如何在与小RNA结合时催化水解反应 并开发方法来区分结构与催化 金属中心 这项工作支持了对反应的长期研究 基于金属-RNA活性位点的肽转移机制。 博士后研究奖学金在化学计划被视为 一项重要的基础设施计划，旨在扩大知识 新博士的经验和吸引他们进入有意义的职业生涯， 当代化学研究与教学

Dr. Andrew L. Feig has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Feig received his doctoral degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Stephen Lippard. Dr. Feig will continue research at the University of Colorado at Boulder under the sponsorship of Professor Olke Uhlenbeck. His postdoctoral research will target understanding the interactions between metal ions and hammerhead ribozymes. The goal is to understand how metal ions catalyze hydrolysis reactions while bound to small RNAs and to develop methodologies to differentiate structural versus catalytic metal centers. The work underpins a long term study of the reaction mechanism of peptide transfer based on a metallo-RNA active site. 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.
