Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my independent career at @ChemistryUIUC this fall. The Strauss Group (@SRG_Chem) will work at the interface of synthetic methods development and polymer science to uncover new strategies in polymer design and functionalization.

[Mike Strauss @Strauss_MJ]

Happy Holidays from the Strauss Research Group! We just welcomed our inaugural class of graduate students into the lab. Could not be more excited to watch these five talented scientists grow throughout their PhDs and make truly transformative discoveries!

Happy Holidays from the Strauss Research Group!

[Mike Strauss @Strauss_MJ]

Huge thanks to everyone who has helped me get to this point, especially @Dichtelians, @BuchwildGroup, @AustinMEvans, and the rest of the amazing coworkers and collaborators I have had the great fortune of working with along the way. Now the real work can begin!

Had an amazing time at the Welch conference!

Congratulations to Prof. Eric Jacobsen on receiving the 2024 Robert A. Welch Award in chemistry! @WelchFoundation

Shoutout Grandpa Buchwald @BuchwildGroup

We used our knowledge of this catalyst system to develop a chemoselective amino alcohol arylation protocol in which we rely on the strength of the base to dictate selectivity. Fantastic collaboration with @bmsnews and many members of the @BuchwildGroup

[Mike Strauss @Strauss_MJ]

Now published @J_A_C_S: We developed improved conditions for Cu-catalyzed C–N coupling that exhibit substantially improved functional group tolerance and enhanced catalyst stability. https://t.co/LGcTgTNPmx

[Mike Strauss @Strauss_MJ]

Along with @MeganGreaves7, @seoungtae_kim, and our friends at @bmsnews, we developed a Cu-catalyzed C–O coupling protocol using our newly developed ligand family that features a new ligand, mild reaction conditions, and interesting mechanistic insights.

Steve in Kyoto! Had a great time at the @BuchwildGroup's Japanese reunion last night!

[IKCOC-16 @15Ikcoc]

#IKCOC-15
Three distinguished plenary speakers will illuminate the stage with their remarkable insights into chemistry.

Join us in welcoming Prof. Buchwald (@BuchwildGroup) in Session 1, Prof. Meijer in Session 2, and Prof. Sodeoka in Session 3.

[Buchwald Group @BuchwildGroup]

The lab had a great time at the Boston Symposium on Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry yesterday, thank you to the organizers for a wonderful event. @Strauss_MJ gave a talk on copper-catalyzed cross-coupling and @RosslerSimon presented a poster on peptide-encoded libraries.

[Humboldt Berlin Chemistry @HumboldtChem]

Great lecture by Steve Buchwald @BuchwildGroup! Inspiring stories of the history of Pd-catalyzed aminations and current progress on protein functionalizations.

[Buchwald Group @BuchwildGroup]

Congrats to our team featuring @Lun_Hsin_Kuo @Strauss_MJ @Varajay407 @DennisKutatela1 @RosslerSimon @Hsuanminhung510 for coming in second place in this years @ChemistryMIT volleyball tournament and big shoutout to everybody else who joined games throughout the tournament!
