Description:About the Seminar\nOver the past few years\, our group has util
 ized photoredox catalysis to access highly-reactive radical intermediates.
  Our broader aims are centered on utilizing these intermediates to deliver
  structural motifs that are commonly found in drugs and agrochemicals. Thi
 s lecture will include recent findings that have enabled us to overcome in
 herent difficulties in aryl radical reactivity\, allowing for the developm
 ent of highly chemoselective and switchable processes. Importantly\, these
  studies have enabled the development of many other selective processes\, 
 including strategies for peptide functionalization and activation of very 
 strong C–F bonds.\nAbout the Speaker\nNate is a Colorado native who star
 ted his chemistry career in the Rovis lab at CSU. He earned his PhD in the
  lab of Dave MacMillan at Princeton\, where his thesis work involved the d
 evelopment of enantioselective cycloaddition processes that operate throug
 h an oxidative radical-polar crossover mechanism. After graduate school\, 
 he was an NIH postdoctoral fellow in the Buchwald lab at MIT\, where he de
 veloped new catalytic methods for regioselective heterocycle formation. He
  was also involved in a collaborative project that aimed to study and comb
 at neurodegenerative disease. He started his independent career at Emory i
 n 2014\, where his program is focused on the development of new methods fo
 r the preparation of pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds\, as well as the 
 design of small molecules that alter gene expression.\n&nbsp\; 4:00 pm
