Summer 2013

The Chemistry Summer Undergraduate Research Program (CSURP), has been developed by the CCHF to provide a mechanism for undergraduates to engage in C–H Functionalization research and engage in research exchange experiences.

Jeremy Housekeeper, an undergraduate student at the University of Washington who worked in the Luscombe Group, was the recipient of one of the 2013 CSURP fellowships and travelled to MIT in the summer of 2013. Jeremy spent the summer working in the lab of Prof. Mo Movassaghi, working on the synthesis of complex molecular scaffolds for C–H Functionalization.

During the program Jeremy not only carried out research in the lab, but also engaged in a professional development sessions at MIT as part of the host REU program as well as participating in CCHF virtual meetings, reporting his work, engaging with other CSURP students and the other CCHF members.
