This doctoral thesis is designed for graduates who wish to gain research experience in an active laboratory with intent to earn their PhD. The Torres lab’s goal is to understand how protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein structure, function, and cell behavior. We approach this challenge using three primary tools, including: Mammalian and Yeast cell systems; Mass spectrometry-based proteomics; Bioinformatics, Structural biology, and Machine learning. We address questions at multiple levels of complexity - from proteome to protein.

Undergraduate Internship for which the student is paid, Juniors and Seniors only.

Construction reactions and functional group interconversions as applied to multistep organic synthesis.

The second course in the series dealing with the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. Credit not awarded for both CHEM 2312 and CHEM 2313.

A first course in chemistry, surveying its fundamental laws and theories, for some engineering majors. It can serve as the first course in a two course sequence where CHEM 1315 is the second course. Topics include atomic structure; bonding theory; stoichiometry; properties of solids, liquids and gases; chemical thermodynamics; electrochemistry; and kinetics. Credit not allowed for both CHEM 1310 and CHEM 1211K.

First course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material. Credit not allowed for both CHEM 1310 and CHEM 1211K.
