dzubeck@mail.utexas.edu I grew up in Parsippany, NJ (not an exit) and after high school, I went to the University of Delaware in Newark (New-Ark not New-werk) where I worked in the lab of Dr. Joel Schneider for almost 3 years and obtained a B.S. in Chemistry in 2002. I moved Texas in Fall of 2002 and I plan to graduate with my Ph.D. in the 2007-2008 school year. Projects: Cyclic DNA Intercalation Donor-Acceptor Interactions in Peptide/Protein Systems |

seachel@mail.utexas.edu I became a chemist at Oberlin College in the spring of 1999. Since then I have worked in the research labs of Drs. Roger Acey (CSULB), Jeannine Chan (Pacific University of Oregon), David Mootoo (Hunter College CUNY), and Sarah Stoll (Georgetown). I graduated in 2002 and taught chemistry at the Miller School of Albermarle and geometry at Santa Monica High School. I started the Ph.D. program at UT where I am also a KVRX DJ. My project involves synthesizing small cyclic peptides with Dan and Ndi acceptor units installed in the backbone in order to further characterize the donor-acceptor binding interaction and develop novel molecular topologies. For the summer of 2007, I will be the Los Angeles Times Health Desk Intern thanks to a AAAS Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellowship. I am from California and there is nothing weird about that. |

stevsamuel@mail.utexas.edu I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, a small island in the Caribbean. After completing my high school education I pursued my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Benedict College in South Carolina. During this time I conducted research at the University of South Carolina with Dr. Linda Shimizu where I worked on investigating the self-assembly properties of novel bis-urea macrocycles. Upon successful completion of my program I arrived here at the University of Texas at Austin where I joined the Iverson research group. My current research project is focused on investigating the effect of preorganization on the Gibbs free energy of binding water-soluble oligomers. The association of these duplexes is achieved through exploitation of the aromatic donor-acceptor interactions present in our Dan and Ndi molecules. Preorganization of this system is achieved by rigidification of the individual donor and acceptor oligomers. It is postulated that reducing the flexibility of the oligomer molecules will minimize the entropic penalty associated with formation of the donor-acceptor duplex. |

ellie042@mail.utexas.edu I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2004 with a B.S. in chemistry and a minor in geology. As an undergraduate, I did research for Dr. David Bergbreiter. My research focused on synthesizing and determining the LCST properties of various poly(N-alkylacrylamides). |

gholman@mail.utexas.edu Garen was born in Topeka, Kansas but then moved to Russellville, Arkansas at the age of two. He graduated from Russellville High School in 2002. He then attended the University of Central Arkansas, where he received a B.S. in Chemistry in 2006. He is now enrolled in the Ph.D. program for Organic Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin. His project is technically "to be determined," in the area of DNA intercalation. He wishes he knew more interesting things to tell you about himself, but temporarily can't find the inspiration. |
