Chad A. Mirkin

@NUChemistry @MirkinGroupNU @UofT He left an indelible mark, left us far too soon, and will be greatly missed.

@NUChemistry @MirkinGroupNU @UofT among graduate students and postdocs. He received one of the first Harry Gray ACS Awards, an honor of which he was justifiably proud. Dwight was a true scientist and a true friend. He cared deeply about getting it right, both in his work and in his personal relationships.

We mourn the passing of Dwight Seferos, a respected chemist, mentor, and member of the scientific community. Dr. Seferos was a postdoctoral researcher in Chad Mirkin's lab (@CHADNANO | @MirkinGroupNU) before joining the chemistry faculty at @UofT. #RIP

@kavya9213140 @LeonidasPlatan1 @LurieCancer @NUChemistry @IINanoNU Already there. For brain cancer, psoriasis, and skin cancer.

@CHADNANO @LeonidasPlatan1 @LurieCancer @NUChemistry @IINanoNU How soon do you expect SNA based therapies in clinical trials?

Just gave medical grand rounds at Feinberg School of Medicine and ran into world renown cancer center director, Leon Platanias! @LeonidasPlatan1 @LurieCancer @NUChemistry @IINanoNU

The discovery of C60 in 1985 reshaped our understanding of materials. At the 40th anniversary celebration, strong parallels were made with the discovery of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), a new form of one of the most important molecules ever synthesized by chemists.

New from the Mirkin Lab in JACS: “Inverse design of DNA-programmable protein colloidal crystals.” DNA hybridization guides proteins into programmable crystalline lattices with tunable structure and size. Read: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

This is worth watching. Julie is a superstar!@IINanoNU

Here are 33 key questions @acsnano to address in #nano bit.ly/Nano33Q with an international team led by Chad Mirkin @CHADNANO @IINanoNU #editorschoice @ACSPublications

Happy to have celebrated @CHADNANO’s reception of the Gibbs Medal from the Chicago Local Section today…

Structure is the secret. In today’s ACS Nano perspective, Chad Mirkin and a team of scientific leaders explain how carefully engineered nanomedicines could make treatments safer, smarter, and more effective. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A new perspective from Chad Mirkin (@CHADNANO), Milan Mrksich, and Natalie Artzi (@NatalieArtzi) charts a bold future for precision nanomedicine. Out now in Nature Reviews Bioengineering: nature.com/articles/s4422…

We’re diving into another exciting day of #NUChemistry research, discussions, and networking! Here’s what’s on the agenda for Wednesday at #ACSSpring2025: @CHADNANO talks tesselated #particle assembly (@IINanoNU)

Tuesday at #ACSSpring2025: #Nanomaterial megalibraries with @CHADNANO (@MirkinGroupNU).

Breakthrough alert! Published today in Advanced Materials, IIN researchers led by Chad Mirkin & Vinayak Dravid introduce innovative "phase-separating" nanoreactors, unlocking nanoparticle megalibraries across almost the entire periodic table. 🔗bit.ly/4it47jQ

@IINanoNU @CHADNANO @MirkinGroupNU Fantastic job by Carolin-- Tour de force, multiple and complementary ideas converging here!!

Excited to share our first paper in @acsnano! By tuning nanoparticle surface ligands, we control their interactions with enzymes and boost enzyme activity over 10-fold! A step toward programmable biocatalysis! Here's a thread on the key points... pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
