UAB News Highlighted Our Selected DOE ECRP Proposal!

Thank you to UAB News for highlighting our recent DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP)proposal, Expanding the Fundamental Understanding of At-211 Chemistry: Towards Improving Binding and Complexation, which has been selected for funding through the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP) by the Office of Isotope R&D and Production and the DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

Aditi and Chandni Take the Top at the UAB Summer Expo!

Congratulations to Aditi Gurudutt and Chandni Bhat who placed 1st and 2nd at the 2023 Summer UAB Undergraduate Research Expo in the Physical and Applied Science category! Thank you, Aditi and Chandni, for doing a fantastic job representing the Burns Research Group!

The UAB Expo celebrates excellence in research, creative activity, and scholarship by showcasing the academic endeavors of undergraduate students.

Aditi is a participant in the Horizon-broadening Isotope Production Pipeline Opportunities (HIPPO) collaboration, which is sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Isotope Program.

Chandni is a participant in the UAB Regional Initiative to Promote Undergraduate Participation in Experimental and Computational Materials Research program, which is supported by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program.

Our DOE ECRP Proposal was Selected!

Our project, Expanding the Fundamental Understanding of At-211 Chemistry: Towards Improving Binding and Complexation, has been selected for funding through the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP) by the Office of Isotope R&D and Production and the DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The goal of this project is to expand the fundamental chemistry of At-211 binding and complexation, so insights gained can be applied to developments in separations, purifications, and chelating agents for this interesting and important element. Ultimately, an improved understanding of At-211 could significantly decrease the time required for the recovery and use of this TAT isotope, leading to an overall increase in the availability of At-211 for treatment as well as research purposes.
