      Mike is a junior chemistry major, who is doing undergraduate research under the supervision of Dr. Holly Lawson. His project is the synthesis and characterization of a novel ruthenium complex. The ruthenium compound has potential as a DNA intercalator. The highly-colored purple complex can fit between the base pairs of DNA, and is useful in monitoring the electron transfer that occurs within the molecule. Mike has been accepted for a summer internship at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland
