Reflections on the Synergistic Role of Nanostructured Inorganics in Biological Processes
ABSTRACT
The intimate synergistic relationship between the biology of life and the inorganic elements and compounds that make up our planet goes back to the origin of life on Earth. It is a dynamic relationship that has resulted in the bio-geo-chemical evolution of both the mineral structure of the earth and the multiple forms of life. The past 100 years have seen a renaissance in the interdisciplinary study and understanding of the dynamics and impact of this relationship. Fred Basolo’s mechanistic research contributions to coordination, organometallic, and bioinorganic chemistry, along with the leadership he gave to the American Chemical Society and the new areas of inorganic chemistry that resulted from his work – and that of his scientific progeny – have been major contributors to this renaissance.
This talk will give an overview of efforts to develop simple, low-cost inorganic agents to promote or inhibit blood clotting. The goals are 1) point-of-care therapeutic hemostasis treatment of external arterial bleeding, and 2) the targeted hemostasis of internal bleeding that results from traumatic injuries. The primary functions of the human blood-clotting system are to induce controlled localized clot formation, using both coagulation and anti-coagulation, and to regulate fibrinolytic formation to prevent excessive blood loss. It is a complex, extensive system with over 230 components and 13 clotting factors. The presentation will describe our search for inorganic agents that have the appropriate biocompatibility and interfacial interactions with the blood-clotting system to direct the blood-clotting process.

BIOGRAPHY
Galen D. Stucky obtained his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry with Robert E. Rundle at Iowa State University in 1962. Now at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Stucky is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and in the Materials Department and is a member of the interdepartmental graduate program in Biomolecular Science & Engineering. He currently holds the UCSB Khashoggi Chair in Materials Chemistry. Before joining UCSB in 1985, he was on the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was promoted to Full Professor in 1972, and was a research group leader at Sandia National Laboratory and at DuPont Central Research & Development. Honors include the American Chemical Society Award in the Chemistry of Materials (2002), the International Mesostructured Materials Association Award (2004), election to fellowship in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005), the Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Award (2008), election the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (2013), and the Princess of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research, with A. Corma and M. E. Davis (2014). He has published over 800 refereed scientific articles and has been awarded over three dozen U. S. patents.
