Would you like to meet someone who plays the guitar, but also works with a linear ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometer? How about someone who plays golf and baseball, and can use gas-phase ion/ion reactions and IM/MS to study protein structure? Or someone who long ago played the cello and who long ago measured proton affinities… Read more »
I joined the IUPUI chemistry graduate program in 1982 when the School of Science consisted of two buildings on 38th Street, across from the Indiana State Fairgrounds. By: Mary Tecklenburg
Last December, the Board of Trustees of Indiana University unanimously approved construction of a new Science and Engineering building at IUPUI. This 100,000 square foot Multidisciplinary Research and Classroom Building is expected to address the growing needs of programs in the School of Science and the School of Engineering and Technology.
On September 5th our regular Wednesday afternoon seminar was privileged to host the recently retired Eli Lilly and Company chairperson, president and CEO, Dr. John Lechleiter who spoke on Science and Leadership: One Chemist’s Story.

Unfortunately opioid drugs are constantly in the news. Overdose patients taking these dangerous designer drugs often pass out or, in some cases, even die. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, every day more than 115 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. Fortunately, a young IUPUI chemistry faculty member and his team, using paper… Read more »
Since 2005 IUPUI’s Distributed Drug Discovery program has established multiple collaborations between our department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and schools across the globe. These contacts have been with students and/or professors in Poland, Russia, Spain, the Czech Republic and Kenya, as well as at multiple schools across the United States. Now it has been implemented in Cuba.
With my retirement last December, I have spent nearly 38 years at IUPUI. I have been very fortunate to have a wide range of responsibilities during that time that have given me a highly varied perspective of work in the university and our global priorities. It is clear that the recurring theme across all of… Read more »
