The Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar returns to its usual Friday this week with a seminar given by Dr. Chattrakun Kanokporn (“Tu”), a biological physicist who has recently joined the faculty at Tennessee Tech from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Tu’s talk, Improved site-specific labeling for smFRET measurements using non-natural incorporation, will describe a technique for studying biomolecular dynamics with very high spatial precision. The seminar will be at 4pm in Bruner Hall 210, with snacks served starting at 3:30pm. These seminars are geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend!
