Welcome!

Welcome to the Bauer group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. Our research program is growing and our first papers have been published now in the literature.

Gatewayarch

St. Louis is known as the "Gateway to the West", as shown by the Gateway Arch (see picture). The Gateway Arch is the tallest man-made monument of the Unites States (630 ft, 192 m) and a symbol for Americas pioneering spirit. In the same way, the University of Missouri St. Louis and the Chemistry Department is dedicated to pioneering research and teaching.

- Eike Bauer, Assistant Professor of Chemistry.



Chemistry at the University of Missouri - St.Louis

ducks
The Chemistry Department has a strong research emphasis but is of medium size, allowing substantial interaction between research advisors and Ph.D. students. There is an international make-up to the faculty and postdoctoral fellows, and there are graduate students presently in the department from the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The department is very well equipped with modern instrumentation and computing resources.

Events

Nichole Curvey started her PhD at UMSL this fall and recently joined our group for research. Welcome in our group, Niki!

Our group was awarded the 2009 Pfizer St. Louis Green Chemistry Award, see here

EB gave a talk at the ACS Midwest Meeting 2009 in Iowa City on October 21 and Stephen Costin at the same meeting on October 22.

EB gave talks at the Missouri Organic Chemistry Day on April 18 and at the Missouri Inorganic Day on May 2.

The 2008 American Chemical Society Midwest Regional Meeting took place on October 8-10, in Kearney, Nebraska. Stephen Costin from our group gave a talk at the meeting.

BambergII

Matthew Lenze, presented a poster at the undergraduate research symposium at the University of Missouri - St. Louis.

The University of Missouri - St. Louis was recently ranked 5th in research productivity in the USA among small universities with fewer than 15 doctoral programs.
