Atanu Acharya, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry, has been awarded aMaximizing Investigators’ Research Award(MIRA) from the National Institutes of Health for his projects: Investigation of Long-Range Charge Transfer and Excited State Processes in Biochemical Systems. Acharya joined Syracuse University in 2022 to focus on biochemical molecular environments. The MIRA grant will fund his research over the next five years.
Syracuse University takes great pride in its R1 designation as a world-class leader in research according to the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
One of the visible examples of how the University is leading the way in research excellence is the BioInspired Institute, an interdisciplinary institute whose members examine complex biological systems, developing and designing programmable smart materials to address global challenges in health, medicine and materials innovation.

The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) is known as the “gateway” for National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications. Expert peer review groups—also called study sections—formed by the CSR assess more than 75% of the thousands of research grant applications sent to the NIH each year. The work done by these sections ensures each application gets a fair, impartial and thorough evaluation for scientific merit and promise, and that funding is awarded without any inappropriate influence.

Are you interested in knowing how living cells function? Do you wonder how scientists grow human tissues in the lab? Have you pondered how robots are programmed to work? If science piques your interest, delve into the topic at the BioInspired Institute research symposium Oct. 19 and 20 at the Life Sciences Complex.
During two days of talks, poster sessions and presentations, the symposium will showcase the work of undergraduate and graduate students, doctoral associates and faculty affiliated with the University-based research institute. The event is free and open to the public. Registration and a detailed event schedule are available online.
We sat down with James H. (Jay) Henderson, BioInspired Institute director and professor of biomedical and chemical engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, to learn more about the projects and activities that will be featured at the symposium.
Jay Henderson, the new director of the BioInspired Institute at Syracuse University, said he hopes to expand the institute’s initiatives through increased interdisciplinary collaboration.
Robert Doyle, Dean’s Professor of Chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences and associate professor of pharmacology at SUNY Upstate Medical University, received the 2022 American Chemical Society Central New York Section Award in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. The award was delayed a year because of Covid-19 restrictions.
