SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Mayurika Mahendran\, 51ÁÔÆæ 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\, 51ÁÔÆæ 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.
