We are happy to announce the addition of three new members to our group: Sam Scannelli, Anastasia Volokhova, and Sarah Blosch!

Congratulations to Chad & Kearsley for their review on H2S donors, published in Biochemical Pharmacology, and to Kyle for his bottlebrush synthesis paper, published in Polymer Chemistry!

Congratulations to Kyle Arrington for winning the ACS POLY Division Excellence in Graduate Polymer Chemistry Award! This confirms Kyle’s status as the third most excellent graduate student to come out of the Matson lab.

Tapered bottlebrush polymers are finally here! See them in Jeffcott’s latest article. Hopefully, the remaining graduate students won’t taper off in their absence.

Congratulations to Kyle for winning the Eastman Cellulose Research Fellowship!

Thanks IUPAC, Division IV, and SPT!

The Matson lab welcomes Yin Wang, a postdoctoral researcher from Johns Hopkins!

Congratulations to Scott on winning the Harold M. McNair Graduate Research Award!

The BiNational Science Foundation has awarded the Matson group a 4-year grant in collaboration with the group of Prof. Ronit Bitton at Ben-Gurion University in Israel for our efforts on peptide-based biomaterials. Thanks, BSF!
