SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Prof. Jon-Marc Rodriguez\, UWM Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Networking for Introverts (and Extroverts): Building Your Mentoring Network and Making the Most Out of Your Next Conference  \nNetworking is often framed as something that comes naturally to extroverts\, but building a strong professional network is a skill that can be developed intentionally by anyone. In this seminar\, we will discuss the role of mentors in supporting success at different stages of an academic or professional career and provide structured opportunities to reflect on existing relationships and areas where additional support may be helpful. The seminar will then shift to practical\, low-pressure strategies for networking at conferences\, including ways to prepare in advance\, engage during meetings\, and follow up effectively afterward.

SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Faija Akter\, UWM Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Breakthroughs\n\nMolybdenum cofactor (Moco) deficiency (MoCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neonatal-onset myoclonic epileptic encephalopathy and dystonia\, with cerebral MRI changes resembling hypoxic–ischemic lesions. The molecular basis of the disease is the loss of sulfite oxidase (SOX) activity\, one of four Moco-dependent enzymes in humans. Accumulating toxic sulfite causes a secondary increase of metabolites such as S-sulfocysteine (SSC) and thiosulfate\, as well as a decrease in cysteine and its oxidized form\, cystine. These biochemical derangements trigger neurodegeneration through NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity and ferroptosis resulting from glutathione depletion.\n\nMoco is synthesized by a three-step biosynthetic pathway involving the gene products of MOCS1\, MOCS2\, MOCS3\, and GPHN. Depending on which synthetic step is impaired\, MoCD is classified as type A\, B\, or C. This distinction is clinically relevant because the metabolic block in MoCD type A can be circumvented by administering cPMP\, marketed as fosdenopterin (Nulibry)\, which received FDA approval in 2021. Substitution therapy with cPMP is highly effective in reducing sulfite toxicity and restoring biochemical homeostasis\, while clinical outcome critically depends on the degree of brain injury prior to the start of treatment. Notably\, recent case studies reveal that brain injury begins prenatally between 22-28 weeks gestation\, underscoring the need for prenatal intervention strategies.\n\nIn the absence of specific treatments for MoCD type B/C and isolated SOX deficiency\, this presentation summarizes recent progress in understanding the underlying metabolic changes in cysteine homeostasis and explores novel therapeutic interventions — including dietary restriction\, NMDA receptor antagonists\, sulfite scavenging\, and ferroptosis inhibition to circumvent these pathological changes.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker\, Joceyln Nardo\, Ph.D.\, Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:Catalysts for Change: Cultivating a Culture for Chemistry Graduate Student Success \nThis project investigates how departmental culture shapes chemistry graduate students’ belonging\, development\, and access to opportunity. The project responds to documented challenges in doctoral education including unclear success criteria\, inconsistent mentoring\, and hidden cultural norms and seeks to generate actionable\, evidence-based pathways for systemic improvement. We designed and deployed a mixed-methods pilot survey to chemistry graduate students measuring six domains informed by prior graduate-education and equity scholarship: (1) graduate milestones\, (2) research competency\, (3) teaching competency\, (4) advisor support (academic and emotional)\, (5) peer and departmental culture\, and (6) academic and demographic background. This talk will center on the qualitative data which is founded on academic citizenship\, which is a set of behaviors\, responsibilities\, and relational practices through which members of an academic community contribute to its collective functioning\, integrity\, and well-being beyond their individual scholarly outputs. It includes activities such as mentoring\, service\, collaboration\, care work\, and stewardship that sustain learning environments\, support colleagues and students\, and advance the shared mission of the institution and discipline. Findings show that academic citizenship is unevenly distributed across student groups and is most strongly predicted by research competency and access to departmental resources. Advisor emotional support and advisor skill dynamics emerged as significant contributors to academic citizenship. Results informed department-level interventions\, including (1) a redesigned first-year experience course integrating research\, teaching\, communication\, and wellness\, and (2) a multidimensional mentoring model grounded in sociopolitical noticing and disciplinary metaphors (chemist\, family\, coach). The project demonstrates that departmental culture can be surfaced\, measured\, and intentionally reshaped to create conditions where graduate students thrive because of rather than in spite of our systems.

SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Mayurika Mahendran\, UWM Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Chemical Perspectives on Therapeutic Challenges and Emerging Treatment Strategies for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)\n\n\nTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of Estrogen receptor (ER)\, Progesterone receptor (PR)\, and HER2 expression. TNBC accounts for approximately 15–20% of all breast cancers and is associated with early metastasis\, high recurrence rates\, and poor prognosis. Because TNBC lacks targetable hormone receptors\, conventional chemotherapy remains the backbone of treatment. Common agents such as Paclitaxel\, Doxorubicin\, and Carboplatin exert their therapeutic effects through mechanisms including microtubule stabilization\, DNA intercalation\, Topoisomerase inhibition\, and DNA crosslinking. Although these cytotoxic mechanisms are effective\, systemic toxicity\, chemo resistance\, tumor heterogeneity\, and radio resistance limit long-term therapeutic success.\n\n\nRecent advances have expanded the TNBC treatment landscape through immunotherapy and targeted approaches. Immune checkpoint inhibitors\, particularly PD-1/PD-L1 blockers such as Pembrolizumab\, enhance T-cell–mediated tumor recognition and have demonstrated improved pathological complete response (pCR) and overall survival (OS) when combined with chemotherapy. Additionally\, PARP inhibitors exploit synthetic lethality in BRCA-mutated TNBC by impairing DNA repair pathways\, promoting tumor cell death.\nAnother promising strategy involves antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)\, such as Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG)\, which combine monoclonal antibody specificity with potent cytotoxic payloads through cleavable linker chemistry\, enabling selective intracellular drug release.\n\n\n\nCombination therapeutic strategies are emerging as a critical direction in TNBC management. Integrating chemotherapy\, immunotherapy\, radiotherapy\, and targeted agents has demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS)\, overall response rate (ORR)\, and overall survival (OS) compared to monotherapy. From a chemical perspective\, rational drug design\, linker optimization\, and molecular targeting strategies play central roles in improving selectivity\, overcoming resistance mechanisms\, and reducing systemic toxicity. Continued advancements in immunology\, nanotechnology\, and molecular biology are expected to facilitate personalized and more effective treatment strategies for TNBC.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker\, Regan Thomson\, Ph.D.\, Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION:Natural Products in the Atmosphere\n\nVolatile terpenes emitted from the world’s forests play a significant role in the formation of atmospheric aerosol particles\, which in turn influence climate\, air quality\, and human health through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Despite the importance of these aerosol particles\, they remain poorly understood and constitute the largest degree of uncertainty in climate models. Recent studies have also led to the development of a novel biosphere–atmosphere feedback loop hypothesis whereby plants may be altering the emission of biogenic terpenes to enhance rainfall during drought conditions. This lecture will describe efforts within my lab towards the synthesis of putative biogenic terpene-derived constituents of atmospheric aerosol particles in order to confirm their identities and explore their climate relevant physical properties. Recent advances in the synthesis of isotopically-labeled pinene derivatives that are driving collaborative investigations into the complex oxidation pathways of terpenes in the atmosphere will also be presented along with ongoing efforts exploring the role of chirality in the atmosphere.\n\nRegan J. Thomson was born in New Zealand in 1976\, and received his Ph.D. in 2003 at The Australian National University where he worked for Prof. Lewis N. Mander. Following postdoctoral studies at Harvard University with Prof. David A. Evans\, he joined the faculty at Northwestern University in 2006 where he is currently a Professor of Chemistry. Regan’s research interests include natural product synthesis and discovery\, and atmospheric chemistry. He is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award\, an Amgen Young Investigator Award\, a Novartis Lectureship\, and an Illinois Division American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award. At Northwestern he has been named a Charles Deering Professor of Teaching Excellence and awarded the Provost Award for Exemplary Faculty Service.

SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Dr. Shilpa Sharma\, UWM Chemistry Postdoctoral Research Scholar
DESCRIPTION:From Graduate School to Postdoc: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Research Experiences\n\nThe transition from graduate school to a postdoctoral position often brings changes in expectations\, responsibilities\, and ways of thinking about research and career goals. In this seminar\, I will share my experience moving from graduate training into a postdoc\, focusing on what felt different\, what was challenging\, and what I wish I had known earlier.\nWe will begin with a brief overview of my academic background and how I approached the postdoc application process\, including factors that influenced my decision. I will then discuss key differences between graduate school and postdoctoral work\, such as increased independence\, shifting mentoring dynamics\, and expectations around productivity and ownership of research.\nThe seminar will also include an overview of how I initiated my postdoctoral research. I will present three projects I have worked on\, highlighting the scientific questions\, computational approaches\, and selected results to illustrate how research projects develop in a new environment.\nFinally\, I will reflect on broader topics such as skill development\, work-life balance\, and how I am thinking about future career directions. The goal of this seminar is to provide a practical and honest perspective that may help graduate students better prepare for the transition to a postdoc.
