CAS - Science Connections
Presidential Keynote Address at ACS National Meeting Presented by Angela M. Belcher
The Presidential Keynote Address at the 237th American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition was presented by Dr. Angela M. Belcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
Dr. Belcher's exceptional research in materials science is well represented in the CAS databases, with over 80 references to her journal articles and patents since 1994. Much of her research stems from early studies of abalone mollusk shells and the important observation that such biological systems can direct the assembly of inorganic substances into nanostructures.1 Dr. Belcher has since traded mollusk shells for microorganisms and has spent nearly a decade uncovering new ways to harness the unique capabilities of biological systems for the manufacture of technologically relevant nanomaterials.2,3 In fact, a recent article from her research team describes how genetically engineered viruses can be used to assemble nanowires to improve electrode performance in lithium ion batteries:
