Dr. Kevin Burgess' research lab in chemistry
Polymers (Cliferson Thivierge)
The photograph is of synthetic organic polymers which are used to make
fluorescent nanoparticles. These particles are not only useful to image
cells but can potentially be used to detect and bind tumors in living
organisms while delivering drugs and other cargo to them. The dispersed
fluorescence (from blue to near infra-red) makes it possible to observe
different elements of interest simultaneously. Graduate student Cliferson Thivierge works with his advisor, Dr. Kevin Burgess, in Texas A&M University’s department of chemistry. Dr. Burgess is the Rachel Professor of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. His research interests focus on peptidomimetics for mimicking or disrupting protein-protein interactions, development of asymmetric organometallics catalysts for syntheses of valuable chirons, and fluorescent dyes for applications in biotechnology. For more information about his research, contact Dr. Burgess at burgess@tamu.edu or (979) 845-4345.
