professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is the
recipient of the 2022 Horace S. Isbell Award from the American Chemical
Society. Presented annually at the spring ACS national meeting, this
award<strong> </strong>acknowledges excellence in and promise of continued quality
of contribution to research in carbohydrate chemistry. The Grimes
Research program focuses on the development and chemical synthesis of
small molecule carbohydrate probes that mimic intermediates of bacterial
cell wall biosynthesis and bacterial-host immune recognition. The work
encompasses a mixture of carbohydrate chemistry, molecular biology and
biochemistry to answer questions regarding how the human body senses and
responds to the presence of bacteria.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=201 | |

professor of materials science and engineering, have been recognized
for their research work and “outstanding scientific and technical
contributions” by being named 2021 AVS Fellows. Teplyakov’s work focuses
on surface functionalization, in which he and his team modify the
chemical and physical properties of surfaces. Zide’s research has
focused on new materials, namely making thin films of new materials by a
technique called molecular beam epitaxy. AVS is an international
organization that promotes research in the areas of surface, interface,
vacuum and thin film science technology. The honor of fellow is a
standing title, as long as Teplyakov and Zide are members of AVS.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2021.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=99 | |
