WELCOME MESSAGE
This is the Daley Group page devoted to all things in and around the Daley Group. Please feel free to peruse the site and use the links on the left to get around quickly. We have a lot of information on this page so hopefully you will
find what you are looking for. However, if you think we missed something, please let us know by sending an email to the webmaster.

If you are a current student at USD and you are looking to join the Daley Group as an undergraduate researcher, please visit our Research and Daley Group links on the left for more information about the projects and people in the lab. After viewing these, if you think you may be interested in joining the Daley Group, please fill out the undergraduate research application and contact Dr. Daley to set up an appointment to meet, discuss the research you are interested in, and to discuss openings in the group. Currently the Daley Group is actively looking for new members!!

The Daley Group makes its home in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department which is housed in the Shiley Science and Technology Center at the University of San Diego. Our group is currently interested in two broad areas of study: Bioinorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. In the bioinorganic area, we examine the structure and function relation of the active-site in monometallic enzymes, such as nitrile hydratase, using the synthetic analogue approach. Our organometallic research currently focuses on the development of new chiral ligands for use in metal-mediated enantioselective catalysis. For more information on our research projects, please visit the research link.

Two Future Medical Doctors.
Congratulations to both Jessica Rodriguez (BA Biology, 2012) and Eric Czer (BA Biochemistry, 2012) on being accepted to medical school!

Raymond Sullivan received SURE award for Summer 2012.
The award will allow Raymond to work on the isoindoline catalysis project over the summer of 2012.

Congratulations to Emily Preito - BA Chemistry 2012.
Congratulations to Emily for completing her BA in Biochemistry and graduating in December, 2011. We look forward to writing about her future successes.

Publication in the Journal of Bioinorganic Chemistry August 2011.
We did it! The Daley Group Co-NHase analogue has been published! A hearty congratulations to Jennifer Angelosante (WWU), Lauren Schopp (USD), Briea Lewis (WWU), Amber Vitalo (USD), Dustin Titus (WWU), Rebecca Swanson (WWU), April Stanley (USD), Brendan Abolins (WWU), Michelle Frome (WWU), and Lisa Cooper (WWU). Also, a special thanks to Dr. Curtis Moore and Professor Arnie Rheingold (UCSD) for solving our x-ray crystal structure - the key component that has kept us from publishing oh this many years. You can see the paper here if you have access.
