famed Professor Belcher, recipient of the 2004 MacArthur Fellowship

come true at the April 5 BMES Distinguished Lecture featuring
Professor Belcher of the MIT Material Science and Engineering, and
Bioengineering Departments. <br>
<br>
</b></font>The Belcher lab uses Nature as a guide to make novel
electronic and magnetic materials and to pattern materials on nano
length scales. Professor Belcher and her students have pioneered a
very novel, non-covalent self-organizational approach that utilizes
evolutionarily selected and engineered peptides to specifically
recognize and bind electronic and magnetic building blocks. Come hear
Professor Belcher explain the exciting research taking place at her
lab; she will also adress how organism first evolved to make
materials and how to develop new scientific approaches that move
beyond naturally evolved materials in order to address future
technology needs.<br>
<br>
In honor of the awesome Professor Belcher,<font color="#0000FF"> EXTRA
DELICIOUS</font> refreshments will be provided before the lecture.<br>
