The Council on Undergraduate Research is pleased to
announce that Carl Strikwerda, Dean of Arts and Sciences at
the College of William and Mary and Moses Lee, Dean for the
Natural and Applied Sciences at Hope College will be plenary
speakers at the upcoming CUR Dialogues.
 Carl
Strikwerda is Dean of Arts and Sciences at the College of
William and Mary. A specialist in the history of modern
Europe and globalization, he served as the historical
consultant to the National World War One Museum in Kansas
City, Missouri. As dean, he began a Faculty Student Research
Initiative in order to make the integration of teaching and
research one of the hallmarks of education at William and
Mary.
 Dr.
Moses Lee moved to Hope College in the summer of 2005. He
serves as Dean for the Natural and Applied Sciences Division
and Professor of Chemistry at Hope College, located in
Holland, Michigan.
A bioorganic and medicinal chemist, he actively designs
and develops novel analogs of distamycin, CC-1065, and
combretastatin A4 that have potential application as
anticancer and gene control agents. His laboratory also
investigates the fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic
properties by which these molecules interact at specific
sequences of DNA within the minor groove.
Professor
Lee has published more than a hundred scientific papers in
various fields including anticancer drug design,
biochemistry, molecular pharmacology of anticancer and
anti-infective (parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses) drugs,
as well as chemical education. His research group has given
more than a hundred presentations at regional and national
professional meetings, and he has been invited to speak at
universities, symposia and professional workshops for more
than fifty times.
