AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY APPROVES IONA'S CHEMISTRY PROGRAM
Publication News
Sunghee Lee, PhD, Chemistry, published a paper entitled, "Sensitivity of cationic surfactant templates to specific anions in liquid interface crystallization," with four coauthors, Paul Sanstead '11, Chemistry, Nick Florio '11, Chemistry, Kiersten Giusto '12 Biochemistry, and Catherine Morris '12 Biochemistry (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2012). This work further corroborates discoveries in the Lee lab that trace anions can have profound effect on the outcome of templated biomineralization.
