Graham Lecture: Increasing Access to Global Healthcare through Process Intensification

Abstract: Access to global public healthcare is impacted by many technical, economic, and social factors. It is widely recognized that the resources required to deliver and improve global public health are currently constrained. A powerful way to increase access is to lower the cost of products and services that have already proven to be effective. Currently, the cost of producing a wide range of pharmaceutical products is higher than it needs to be.

ABSTRACT

Chemistry and Biology of Nucleic Acid- and Nucleotide-Binding Proteins

The functions of nucleotides and nucleic acids involve their interactions with cellular proteins. In this presentation, I will discuss about our recent efforts toward the development and applications of quantitative proteomic methods for unbiased, proteome-wide discovery of proteins that can recognize unique secondary structures of DNA. I will also discuss our recent development of targeted quantitative proteomic methods for interrogating ATP- and GTP-binding proteins at the entire proteome scale.
