Even if the laboratories are closed, the (online) libraries are open, and COVID-19 isn’t stopping Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chair of Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Max Majireck, Amy Glanzer ’21, and Holly Hutchinson ’21 from conducting chemistry research this summer.

Associate Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck co-authored a book chapter in Implication of Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Medicine, Agriculture and Food Industry, recently published by Springer Nature.

The Chemistry Department recently hosted organic chemistry students and faculty from Colgate University and Hobart and William Smith Colleges for SmORS, the annual Summer Organic Research Symposium.

Paul Hart ’20 is one of 200 Hamilton students conducting research or completing an internship supported by the College this summer. He's working with Associate Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck to synthesize a compound called BRD9876. BRD is essentially a selective motor protein inhibitor, and that means it targets multiple myeloma cells as a form of blood cancer.

Six faculty members were approved for tenure by Hamilton’s Board of Trustees during a recent meeting. The board awarded tenure to Katherine Brown (physics), Courtney Gibbons (mathematics), Gbemende Johnson (government), Alexandra List (psychology), Max Majireck (chemistry), and Seth Schermerhorn (religious studies).

Amy Glanzer ’21 and Holly Hutchinson ’21 both find chemistry challenging — and incredibly rewarding. They work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as summer research assistants for Associate Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck.

When Carlos Espindola ’20 was approached by his chemistry professor about staying on campus for a summer research project, he didn’t hesitate.

Organic chemistry students and their research advisors from Hamilton, Colgate University, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges gathered for the annual Summer Organic Research Symposium (SmORS).

Fourteen chemistry and biochemistry/molecular biology majors presented posters at the 255th American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting in New Orleans in March.

A team of Hamilton students worked with Hamilton Assistant Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck to produce research that was published in the journal Molecules.
