Cline wins top prize at Silver Award Symposium

John Burmeister (left), Alumni Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemisty and associate chair of the department, with graduate student Daniel Cline as Eugene Mueller, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry, presents Cline with the Silver Award.

3:18 p.m., June 7, 2004--Daniel J. Cline, doctoral candidate in chemistry and biochemistry, is the 2004 Silver Award Symposium recipient for his research presentation, "Masked Fluorescent Arsenical Probes for Protein Dithiols." The award was given at the 31st Silver Award Symposium, May 20 in Brown Laboratory.

Silver award-winners receive a certificate and a check for $300.

Cline’s research advisers are Joel Schneider, assistant professor, and Colin Thorpe, professor, both of chemistry and biochemistry.

The Silver Award Symposium, first held in 1973, highlights research presentations by senior chemistry and biochemistry graduate students. The winning presentation is selected by a panel of academic and industrial chemists and biochemists that this year included Andrea Martin, professor of inorganic chemistry at Widener University; Lois Weyer, an analytical chemist with Alliant Techsystems; Thomas Hanson, UD assistant professor of marine studies; Clare Gutteridge, organic chemist with the U.S. Naval Academy; and Branislav Nikolic, UD assistant professor of physics and astronomy.

In 1971, Joel L. Silver, a UD graduate student, was in the last year of his doctoral studies in chemistry and biochemistry. He was working with John Burmeister, Alumni Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and associate chair of the department, when he was killed in an automobile accident. Burmeister completed the writing of Mr. Silver's doctoral dissertation, and Mr. Silver was awarded his doctorate posthumously. Mr. Silver's family and friends created an endowment fund to support the annual symposium.
