DESCRIPTION:https://scholars.duke.edu/person/qiu.wang  \nTitle: New Amina
 tion Methods for the Synthesis of Important Nitrogen-Containing Molecules 
   \n\nAbstract: The research in the Wang group centers on developing new
  methods that can streamline the synthesis and study of novel nitrogen-con
 taining molecules toward advancing our understanding of human disease and 
 the discovery of new therapy. This talk will present the development for a
 n umpolung strategy for alkene aminofunctionalization that engages electro
 philic amination olefin activation and the incorporation of diverse hetero
 atom and carbon nucleophiles. These methods afford a direct and powerful a
 pproach to transform simple and readily available olefins into a diverse r
 ange of highly valued 1\,2-amino functionality\, including amino fluoride\
 , diamines\, and amino alcohol derivatives. The talk will also present som
 e innovative application of novel nitrogen-containing molecules as potenti
 al leads and chemical probes for molecular imaging.    \n\nSpeaker's Bi
 ography: Professor Qiu Wang obtained her Ph.D. from Emory University in Or
 ganic Chemistry under the direction of Professor Albert Padwa (2005) and r
 eceived postdoctoral trainings with Professor Andrew Myers at Harvard Univ
 ersity (2005–2007) and Professor Stuart Schreiber at the Broad Institute
  of Harvard and MIT (2007–2011). Dr. Wang started her independent career
  in the Department of Chemistry at Duke University in 2011 and is currentl
 y Robert R. and Katherine B. Penn Associate Professor of Chemistry. The re
 search of the Wang group centers on developing new chemistry methods and i
 maging strategies to advance the synthesis and biological studies of nitro
 gen-containing small-molecule probes and imaging tools\, especially those 
 related to cancer and neurodegenerative disease.\n\nLab website: https://p
