2010 August Dr. Sriram is part of an interdisciplinary team that was awarded a $1.9 million NSF grant toward the purchase of a high-resolution (800 MHz) nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectrometer. The team is lead by Dr. Kwaku Dayie (Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland), and includes Dr. David Fushman, Dr. Vitali Tugarinov (both from Chemistry and Biochemistry) and Dr. Sriram. This instrument will facilitate enhanced study of biomolecular structures such as protein and RNA and the measurement of isotopic labels for metabolic pathway analysis. Details: article on umd.edu, article on ChBE website.

2010 May The Baltimore Sun publishes a front-page story on the NSF poplar project. Project and lab pictures from the print and online versions of the paper: 1, 2, 3, 4.

2010 April Ali Eslami, undergraduate researcher, is awarded a $3,000 grant from A Scholars Program for Industry-Oriented Research in Engineering (ASPIRE), University of Maryland, to fund his summer research.
