Chong Fang

Ultrafast spectroscopy on novel materials and functional biomolecules. "The interplay between chemistry, physics, and biology greatly facilitates the ultrafast spectroscopic advances in the molecular vibration domain, which include the newly developed FSRS (femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy) and 2D IR (two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy). In our lab, the real-time structural snapshots of functional biomolecules 'in action' offer unprecedented mechanistic insights on the intrinsic timescale (10 fs-1 ps) critical for their specific functions."

Marilyn Mackiewicz

Research in the Mackiewicz group is at the chemistry-biology interface bridging several fields of chemistry with biology and engineering. Our research is centered around 4 major themes that include:

1. Designing nanoscale materials using green synthetic approaches for biomedical and environmental applications
2. Dtudying nanoparticle-biological interactions and nanotoxicology
3. Developing diagnostic assays and systems to monitor disease states and therapeutic response
4. Systems for imaging and targeted drug delivery.

Our long-term goal is to advance our bench side chemistry to translational applications in cancer, Alzheimer's disease, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. We have developed platform nanotechnologies that allow us to explore a variety of biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications. Concurrently, we and our collaborators work to test these platforms in a variety of translational applications. In addition, we study the nanotoxicological effects of the new materials developed and their nanoparticle-biological interactions to advance their designs and overcome translational barriers that limit their use in vivo. Our research involves partnerships developed between Portland State University (PSU), Oregon State University (OSU), Casey Eye Institute, Devers Eye Institute, and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) to achieve our long-term research goals and advance our technologies forward into new directions.

Kyriakos Stylianou

The "Materials Discovery Laboratory" (MaD Lab) research focuses on the generation of porous materials; namely metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for advanced applications. They intend to develop synthetic strategies to functionalize their pore surface with specific groups in order to enhance interactions with targeted molecules and test their potential towards the capture and utilization of CO2, photocatalytic, and as sensors.
