• Texas Tech University has decided to pursue worldwide patent protection by filing a PCT application for a provisional patent by Prof. Poirier entitled "METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR QUANTUM COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY MODELING". The patent addresses new methodologies for performing quantum chemistry calculations on quantum computers.
• Prof. Mechref participated in an FDA virtual site visit May 13-14.
• Prof. Poirier gave an invited oral presentation at the ACS Spring 2021 National Meeting. The talk, entitled "Plumbing potentials for molecules with up to tens of atoms: How to find saddle points and fix leaky holes", was part of the "Dynamics of Chemical Reactions" symposium, in honor of Prof. William L. Hase.
• Dr. Mahtab Beikzadeh (a graduate student of Dr. Latham) gave an oral presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), April 28th. The talk was entitled "Structure of the ATP-free Mre11-Rad50 DNA damage repair complex bound to DNA substrates".
