Amy Deveau, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Chemistry & Physics and member of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences, delivered a seminar on March 12, 2010 at Colby College titled "Addicted to Medicinal Chemistry!: Progress in the Synthesis and Structural Evaluation of Biologically Interesting Naltrexol Derivatives." The research presented featured recent contributions by ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ undergraduate students Elizabeth Andrews ('10, Biochem/Med Bio), Paul Fitz-Morris ('11, Biochem), Tanya Lawrence ('11, Biochem/Med Bio), Andrea Pelotte ('09, Biochem/Med Bio), Jen Bayron (Biochem/Med Bio), as well as ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ-COM student David Martin ('12).  The presentation also featured collaborations with the laboratories of Drs. John Stubbs (assistant professor, chemistry & physics, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ), Edward Bilsky (rofessor of pharmacology, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏCOM), Richard Rothman (chief of clinical psychopharmacology, National Institute on Drug Abuse), and Wolfgang Sadee (chair of pharmacology, Ohio State University).  

Dr. Deveau's research students Elizabeth Andrews, Paul Fitz-Morris and Michelle Forbes ('12, Med Bio/Env. Science) joined her on the trip to tour the NSF-funded X-Ray Crystallography facility housed at the Colby Chemistry Department and attend the seminar.
