Truman students from the Miller research lab in chemistry presented at the National American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, March 26-30. Students Hannah Zimmerman, senior biology and psychology double major, Dominic Caputa, senior physics major, and Zoe Vetter, sophomore cellular and molecular biology major, each presented a poster in the area of drug design and discovery using a variety of computational chemistry techniques. Caputa and Vetter won the award for outstanding undergraduate research poster in the computers in chemistry poster session for their poster on investigation of novel inhibitors of the cancer target enzyme APOBEC3B. This research travel was financially supported by Truman’s Chemistry Department.
