2016 Nov 15

Kathryn Chabal was one of two Wartburg College students who presented their research at the Midwestern Regional American Chemical Society Conference Oct. 26-28 in Manhattan, Kansas.

Chabal, a senior from Washington majoring in biochemistry, presented "Coordination Chemistry and Reactivity of Cobalt Complexes of tapa (tris(6-amino-2-pyridylmethyl)amine)." The research was done in conjunction with senior Caleb Milius and Matthew Zart, assistant professor of chemistry.

Their research is seeking a viable interface between biology and chemistry by using chemistry to mimic the way biology solves specific problems.
