Join the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame for the fifth annual Carrier Medal Ceremony & Lecture, honoring Frances Arnold, Nobel Laureate and the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry; Director, Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center at Caltech.
Arnold was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2018 for her work in pioneering directed evolution to engineer new enzymes. Her work has contributed to green pharmaceutical manufacturing and rewnewable fuel development.
Arnold’s talk will share recent studies from her laboratory that show how directed evolution of enzymes can teach biology to carry out entirely new chemistry.
A fireside chat will follow her talk.
Please join us for a reception—with light hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine—after the program.
An RSVP is not required, but appreciated.
