This week, we're thrilled to host Prof. Donna Blackmond of Scripps Research as our 2025 Dow/Karabatsos Lecturer! Please join us for two lectures:

MSU Chemistry's Melanie Cooper is changing the chemistry education game by using AI to craft chat bots to assist students and even transform turn her chemistry textbook into a series of podcasts ↩️ natsci.msu.edu/news/2025/2025…

Congratulations to Atanu Ghosh on being named an American Chemical Society Division of Inorganic Chemistry Young Investigator! "To be honest, the greatest difficulty I have with Atanu is keeping up with him,” said James McCusker, Ghosh’s nominator and mentor. chemistry.msu.edu/news/25-10-gho…

A huge congratulations to Vindula Alwis on receiving a much-deserved Excellence-in-Teaching Citation at this year's All-University Awards! msutoday.msu.edu/news/2025/msu-…

"The ultrafast spinning probe will enable 1H-detection experiments, like those extensively done in solution NMR, but now in solid samples," Wang said. "This allows to rapidly access the structure if molecules, with high-resolution, in a variety of biochemical samples."

Please come to our poster stands to hear about our science and connect with us!!! Poster board numbers: #460, #469 #471, and #475 (Today, April 14th), #321 and #334 (Tomorrow,April 15th) #Makeitpossible

We have four lab members presenting their posters now! Swing by to learn more about radical enzymes and all the amazing chemistry they’re involved in!!!! #ASBMB25

#ASBMB25 Our graduate student Shukurah Anas had the opportunity to showcase our research at the welcome reception with other travel grant awardees of ASBMB 2025

Our graduate student Anshika presenting her poster at the just ended #ASBMB25 annual meeting in Chicago!

Our undergraduate students presented their posters at #ASBMB25, sharing their exciting work with the broader scientific community. We’re so proud of these young scientists, for their curiosity, hard work, and the confidence. The future is definitely bright!

Our graduate students and post-docs showcased Andorfer lab’s research on various aspects of X-succinate synthases; including mechanistic studies, structural analysis, and protein engineering, at #ASBMB25, contributing to the growing biocatalysis and chemical biology community!

Our graduate student, Shukurah Anas, gave her first-ever conference talk at #ASBMB25—the first of many to come—earning second place in the Science in a Flash competition and bringing home a win for the lab. We're so proud of our rising star!

This week, we're thrilled to host Prof. Mercouri Kanatzidis of Northwestern Chemistry as our Max T. Rogers Distinguished Lecturer! Please join us for two lectures:

A big congratulations to Sandhya Manivasagam, who took home a first-place award at this year's UURAF! 🎉

An undergraduate researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Robert Maleczka, Sandhya worked with doctoral student Darshika Singh on the project, "Exploration of Wittig Rearrangements with Seven-Membered and Five-Membered Rings."

A true highlight of our week at #ASBMB25 was getting to spend quality time with Prof. Cathy Drennan of @Drennan_lab at MIT, where our PI, Mary C Andorfer, did her post-doc.

Congratulations to Prof. Tian (Autumn) Qiu on receiving an Am Soc for Mass Spec Research Award, supported by Bruker! 🍾 If you're headed to this summer's ASMS conference, be on the lookout for Qiu Group trainees presenting posters on the team's work!

ICYMI: At #ASBMB25, Shukurah Anas of Michigan State University present their research on microbes that break down crude oil. For more info check out this article: ow.ly/55rX50VwHvN. #microbiology #environment #oilspill #bacteria
