He has developed a novel single-molecule platform that makes it possible to observe and study proteins that allow life-threatening viruses such as hepatitis C and HIV to reproduce, often mutating into forms that are resistant to known drug therapies. Gidi is effectively creating "movies" of individual biological machines in action, with the goal of understanding how the viruses reproduce and how they respond to drugs.</p> Wed, 17 Feb 2016 03:50:23 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 851 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/mcgill-green-chemistry-students-publish-inaugural-issue-their-own-journal-257182 <p>During the fall 2015 semester, students enrolled in the Green Chemistry course (CHEM 462) were involved in a unique initiative. They entirely created their very own journal composed of reports and critiques inspired by the 12 principles of green chemistry. An editorial board composed of students in the course was cast and defined teh scope for this new publication. Students each wrote an article, submitted it to the editors, peer evaluted each other's work and finally presented their final work.</p> Tue, 08 Dec 2015 17:03:59 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 809 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/mcgill-chemistry-phd-graduate-secures-green-chemistry-research-grant-239486 <p>Reuben Hudson (bottom right on the photo) is currnetly a post doctoral fellow at Colby University in Maine, in the group of Jeffrey Katz, where he studies the synthesis of polymers.
