March

• Chemistry Seminar - "Waking-up silent bacterial genes for natural product discovery"

  04 March 2020, 13:00 - 14:00

  Mining bacterial genomes has revealed a vast number of gene clusters proposed to direct the biosynthesis of novel specialized natural products. However, many of these gene clusters remain silent, or are poorly expressed, in laboratory growth conditions.

• National Research Council of Canada (NRC) Metrology: who are we and what do we do?

  05 February 2020, 13:00 - 14:00

  After a period of business-led research which was accompanied with a dramatic drop in publications and patents, National Research Council of Canada (NRC) turned the page over in 2016 and opened its doors to young scientists and new research ideas. I will briefly talk about NRC Metrology, what do we...

September

• Some new aspects of Bacterial-Bacterial and Bacterial-Algal Interactions in the Marine Environment

  10 September 2019, 18:00 - 19:00

  My research interests are wide ranging. In bioinorganic chemistry, these extend from models for zinc, molybdenum and non-heme iron metalloprotein active sites, to design of metal complexes as artificial restriction enzymes for molecular biology to the mechanisms of iron transport and storage in microorganisms to the design and synthesis of...

August

• Efficient storage mechanisms for building better supercapacitors

  27 August 2019, 14:00 - 15:00

  We simulate systems consisting of ionic liquids electrolytes and carbon electrodes. We adopt a bottom-up strategy which consists in starting from a simple system with planar graphite electrodes before to tackle the more complex problem of realistic nanoporous electrodes. In our simulations we can apply a potential difference between the...
