DESCRIPTION:The Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center (AIMRC) will
  host Dr. Bin Dong\, an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry 
 at the University of Arkansas at 12:55 p.m. on Wednesday\, February 26\, i
 n ARKV 0002. Dr. Dong will discuss using high throughput single-entity spe
 ctroscopy and super-resolution microscopy to study fundamental chemical an
 d biological processes at the molecular and nano scales.\n\n \n\nAbstract:
  Our society faces an array of formidable challenges\, from the relentless
  battle against cancer to the crisis of energy shortages. Addressing these
  critical issues necessitates the development of advanced materials that c
 an have a variety of applications – from drug development\, to more effe
 ctive treatment procedures for cancer\, to energy efficiency. A thorough c
 omprehension of the physical phenomena governing chemical and biological p
 rocesses is crucial.  Optical microscopy imaging of single molecules and p
 articles has emerged as a crucial tool in studying fundamental chemical an
 d biological processes at the molecular and nano scales. By elucidating st
 atic and dynamic heterogeneities among seemingly identical molecules\, it 
 transcends the limitations of traditional ensemble experiments and inspire
 s new discoveries. In Dr. Dong’s research lab\, the overarching aim is t
 o pioneer new frontiers in chemical and biological exploration through the
  development and utilization of innovative optical imaging platforms. Thes
 e cutting-edge methods offer nanometer-scale spatial resolution\, microsec
 ond to millisecond temporal resolution\, exceptional sensitivity\, and the
  ability to detect single entities\, all while providing rich chemical inf
 ormation. Dr. Dong’s lab leverages these optical techniques to delve int
 o vital chemical and biological processes such as endocytosis\, cell mecha
 nics\, cancer migration\, heterogeneous catalysis in solid catalysts\, and
  structural and morphological changes in nanomaterials. The outcomes of th
 is research will profoundly influence the design of disease treatments\, c
 atalysts\, and functional materials.  In this seminar\, Dr. Dong will shar
 e his lab’s work on developing high-throughput single-molecule single-pa
 rticle hyperspectral microscopy and its application in biochemical imaging
 .\n \n\nBiography: Bin Dong is an assistant professor of Chemistry and Bio
 chemistry at the University of Arkansas\, Fayetteville. Bin received his B
 .S. from Xiamen University in 2007\, did Ph.D. work with Prof. Ning Fang a
 t Iowa State University from 2011 to 2015\, and continued his postdoctoral
  research with Prof. Ning Fang at Georgia State University. Bin joined the
  University of Arkansas\, Fayetteville in Fall 2021. His research develops
  newly advanced optical microscopy imaging and spectroscopy systems and in
 vestigates dynamics processes in functional materials and biophysics under
  in-situ conditions. Current studies include single-molecule imaging\, sup
 er-resolution imaging\, single particle tracking\, advanced optical micros
 copy\, and spectroscopy systems development. Bin’s work is currently fun
 ded by the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund (ACS PRF)\, a
  Doctoral New Investigator grant\, and a seed grant from the Society for A
 nalytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP).\n\n \n\nThis event is supported b
