The Chmielewski Group
Jean Chmielewski · Purdue University
The Chmielewski Group at Purdue University, led by Alice Watson Kramer Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Jean Chmielewski, designs peptides to do work where small molecules struggle: enter macrophages to kill intracellular pathogens, assemble into ordered biomaterials through metal-ligand chemistry, deliver folded protein cargo across cell membranes, and reach HIV reservoirs …

Arina Filatova
Undergraduate Student Researcher
Hackeng and Dijkgraaf Groups, Maastricht University
Arina Filatova is a BSc student in Chemical Biology at Maastricht University. Her fascination with biological macromolecules began early in her studies, when she first learned that a protein's three-dimensional structure dictates its function. This curiosity evolved into a central academic interest in how chemical structure governs biological activity...

Helma Wennemers Receives the Wilhelm Ostwald Medal
Prof. Helma Wennemers is one of two recipients this year of the Wilhelm Ostwald Medal, the Saxon Academy of Sciences' most important prize, awarded in a ceremony at Leipzig's Old Town Hall. The Academy recognized Wennemers for her work on bio-inspired catalysts and functional peptide systems, which has expanded the interface between organic and biological chemistry and established peptide-based catalysis as a distinct field. The medal, named for the 1909 Nobel laureate in chemistry, has been awarded since 1978 for achievement in the natural sciences and engineering.
