About the Speaker

Michael J. Sailor earned his Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemistry from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, completing the program in May 1983. Following their undergraduate studies, he pursued a PhD in Chemistry at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, which he completed in June 1988. He is a nanotechnology researcher and Distinguished Professor at the University of California, San Diego. Sailor is best known for his research on porous silicon, a nanostructured material that is prepared by electrochemical corrosion of crystalline silicon wafers.

 

About the Seminar Series

The goal of the NextGen Precision Health & Ellis Fischel Cancer Center Science Seminar is to highlight transdisciplinary precision research taking place in the cancer field, provide opportunities for collaboration among researchers to build their own research efforts and promote clinical/researcher activity across the University of Missouri System and our partners.
