The ultimate research goal of our group is to synthesize nitrogen-containing organic compounds efficiently and directly from N<sub>2</sub> gas as the nitrogen source, bypassing the NH<sub>3</sub>-depended synthetic pathway, mainly via metal-mediated or catalyzed dinitrogen functionalization.<sup>1</sup><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<img alt=\"\" id=\"_x0000_i1025\" o:ole=\"\" src=\"file:///C:/Users/mborcard/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.emz\"><br>\r\n<img alt=\"\" id=\"图片_x0020_1\" src=\"file:///C:/Users/mborcard/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.emz\"><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt this presentation, I will briefly introduce two results recently realized in my research group. One result is about the transformation and mechanism on efficient first-step and second-step N<sub>2</sub> electrophilic functionalization of L<sub>n</sub>Cr-N<sub>2</sub> metal dinitrogen complexes.<sup>2</sup> The other result is on the synthesis of nitrogen-containing organic compounds via LiNCNLi formed from N<sub>2</sub> gas and carbon by synergizing the heterogeneous synthetic approach with the homogeneous synthetic methodology.<sup>3</sup><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><em>References</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><br>\r\n<strong>1.</strong> Lv, Z.-J.; Wei, J.; Zhang, W.-X.; Chen, P.; Deng, D.; Shi, Z.-J.; Xi, Z. <em>Natl.

After a fixed number of steps, the left tail has a Gaussian profile under minimal assumptions. Remarkably, a similar phenomenon occurs when we consider a positive random walk on the cone of positive-semidefinite matrices. After a fixed number of steps, the minimum eigenvalue is described by a Gaussian random matrix model.<br>\r\nThis talk introduces a new way to make this intuition rigorous.

If I start a clinical trial using the drug AI thinks is best, will it pan out? How can we ensure high-quality products when AI is used in a larger workflow? That is, how do I know whether AI automated a task correctly? AI powered imputations are beginning to substitute for real data when collection of the latter is difficult, slow, or costly.

High-resolution quantitative measurements of the oligomeric organization of membrane proteins in native membranes, and how they change under different conditions, are indispensable for understanding membrane protein biology. Her lab reported a single-molecule technique, Native-nanoBleach, to determine the oligomeric distribution of membrane proteins from native membranes at ~10 nm spatial resolution and at endogenous levels of expression. They applied Native-nanoBleach to quantify the oligomerization status of structurally and functionally diverse membrane proteins. Her team has now extended this general technique to organellar membrane proteins and membrane contact sites in the context of neurodegeneration and rare developmental diseases. This general experimental pipeline will usher in a new era of studying membrane protein organization in their native membrane environments under various physiological and clinical conditions.<br>\r\n \r\n<div><strong>Bio</strong>: Moitrayee Bhattacharyya received her Ph.D. in Computational Biophysics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where she used molecular dynamics simulations and network theory to study allosteric communication in protein complexes. She transitioned into experimental biology during her postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley, as a Human Frontiers Science Program Long Term Fellow. Here, she used structural biology and single-molecule microscopy to study the molecular mechanism of regulation in a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that is critical for learning and memory. She started her lab at Yale University in the summer of 2020. One focus is to develop broad-impact technological platforms that enable high-resolution studies of membrane proteins in native membranes, in her lab and beyond. Her lab also applies these technologies in conjunction with established biophysical and structural methods to understand the molecular mechanisms of membrane-localized signaling in chronic pain and neurodegenerative diseases.</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T14:43:44", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-11T09:28:30", "link_label": "", "link_url": "https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/moitrayee-bhattacharyya/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Conference room SV.1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://www.epfl.ch/schools/sv/it/sv-rooms/#SV1717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Moitrayee Bhattacharyya, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Yale University School of Medicine ", "organizer": "Institute of Bioengineering, EPFL", "contact": "Prof. Florian Schueder", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120702/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] } ] }
