Congratulations to Gary Pielak for being named a 2024 Biophysical Society Fellow.

The award supports a collaborative project between UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University. Researchers will develop a new short-wave infrared light camera and train a diverse group of students in using innovative technologies.

We are pleased to announce the promotion of 2 faculty members: Joshua Beaver and Danielle Zurcher.

The institute’s Faculty Fellowship Program will provide support for Frank Leibfarth, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry within the College of Arts and Sciences, whose research includes expanding options for recycling.

Congratulations to Alex Zhukhovitskiy for being receiving the 2023 Army Early Career Award.

The UNC department of chemistry hosts an annual three-day competition called Sci-athon that invites teams of graduate students from various STEM disciplines to come up with the next big idea in chemistry.

Graduate students from across North Carolina — including several from the Department of Chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill — came together in May for a two-day professional development conference that partnered industry experts with graduate students.

The Pielak Lab's research "Resolving the enthalpy of protein stabilization by macromolecular crowding" is featured on the May issue of Protein Science.

The annual Departmental Senior Awards are presented to students demonstrating excellence in their academic studies in chemistry, research in the labs, and/or teaching in the classroom. We are pleased to announce the recipients of Carolina Chemistry’s 2023 Departmental Senior Awards.
