DESCRIPTION:Prof. Christina Woo\, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Bio
 logy\, Harvard University\, USA.\nAbout the speaker:\n\n The Woo lab draw
 s from the fields of chemical biology\, organic synthesis\, and mass spect
 rometry to understand small molecule activity in the proteome. We seek to 
 develop and apply chemical proteomic methods to study the interactions of 
 therapeutics\, natural products\, and metabolites within the cellular prot
 eome. In parallel\, we develop synthetic access to unique chemical scaffol
 ds followed by identification of their protein targets and functional rela
 tionship to biological outcome. Studies from the Woo laboratory will have 
 implications in drug discovery\, synthetic methods\, and new mechanisms by
  which small molecules influence biological systems.\nChristina joined the
  CCB faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2016. She obtained her B.A. from
  Wellesley College (2008)\, followed by her Ph.D. from Yale University (20
 13) under the guidance of Professor Seth Herzon on the synthesis and chemi
 cal biology studies of the diazofluorene antitumor antibiotics. She comple
 ted a Jane Coffin Childs postdoctoral fellowship at University of Californ
 ia\, Berkeley and Stanford University (2016) with Professor Carolyn Bertoz
 zi in the area of chemical glycoproteomics. Christina is the recipient of 
 a Burroughs Wellcome Fund CASI fellowship (2015).
