Within this family of secondary metabolites, several structurally complex members are biosynthetically derived through oxidation of the tetracyclic \u003Cem\u003ESecurinega\u003C\/em\u003E monomers. In this presentation, I will discuss our group\u2019s recent discoveries in the chemical synthesis of highly oxidized \u003Cem\u003ESecurinega\u003C\/em\u003E alkaloids. I will also highlight research extending beyond total synthesis, including the development of a \u003Cem\u003ESecurinega\u003C\/em\u003E alkaloid-based molecular photoswitch, the chemically guided elucidation of (allo)securinine biosynthesis, and the anticipation and subsequent discovery of natural products through chemical synthesis.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003ESunkyu Han is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where he has served on the faculty since 2014 and was promoted to full Professor in 2024. He received his B.S. in Chemistry, summa cum laude, from KAIST. He then earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012 under the supervision of Professor Mo Movassaghi, followed by postdoctoral studies at Yale University with Professor Scott J. Miller.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EProfessor Han\u2019s research centers on the total synthesis of complex natural products, natural product-inspired synthetic methods development, and the translation of natural products into functional molecules and biologically relevant therapeutics. His laboratory is particularly well known for pioneering studies on \u003Cem\u003ESecurinega\u003C\/em\u003E alkaloids, where his group has achieved the synthesis of numerous high-oxidation-state and dimeric members of this fascinating family, often through biosynthetically inspired strategy. In addition to advancing synthetic strategy, his work has contributed to structure revision, the anticipation and discovery of previously unknown natural products through chemical synthesis, and the development of natural product-derived bioactive compounds and functional materials.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EHis research accomplishments have been recognized through numerous honors, including the Thieme Chemistry Journals Award (2019), the Hanseong Science Award (2019), the KAIST LINKGENESIS Best Teacher Award (2019), the Korean Chemical Society (KCS) Division of Organic Chemistry Young Organic Chemist Award (2020), the KCS-Wiley Young Chemist Award (2022), the Young Scientist Award from the President of the Republic of Korea (2022), the Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Academic Award (2025), and the Synlett Best Paper Award 2024 (2025).

Archaea and bacteria oxidize most of the methane that diffuses upward from vast reservoirs beneath the seafloor before it can reach the atmosphere. In this seminar, I will present recent findings from our lab on the role of microbes and their proteins on methane and methanol cycling in three habitats: under the seafloor, in a deep brine pool, and in the surface ocean. First, I will highlight our discovery of methane hydrate binding proteins made by subseafloor bacteria, and how collaboration with GT biochemists enabled characterization of these novel proteins that are only found in bacteria that inhabit deep seafloor sediments rich in methane. Second, I will present our recent study of marine archaea that prevent leakage of methane out of a deep anoxic salt pond on the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico. Third, I will highlight our discovery of Methylaequorales, an uncultivated order of alphaproteobacteria that are highly active in the surface ocean and use lanthanide-requiring enzymes to grow on methanol. Despite recent progress, we have barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the biochemical repertoire of microbial proteins, particularly those from habitats rarely visited by humans, and the need for fundamental science to uncover the chemical potential of environmental microbes is stronger than ever.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Chemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry - Seminar Series\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"School of Chemistry \u0026 Biochemistry - Seminar Series"}],"uid":"35342","created_gmt":"2026-07-27 15:57:10","changed_gmt":"2026-07-27 16:01:14","author":"mcurtis41","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-09-17T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-09-17T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-09-17T16:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-09-17 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-09-17 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-09-17 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB Kron 1005","extras":[],"hg_media":{"680676":{"id":"680676","type":"image","title":"Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","body":null,"created":"1785167839","gmt_created":"2026-07-27 15:57:19","changed":"1785167839","gmt_changed":"2026-07-27 15:57:19","alt":"J Glass","file":{"fid":"264967","name":"Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":179011,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/07\/27\/Prof.-Jennifer-Glass---2-.jpg?itok=ZlQseyPw"}}},"media_ids":["680676"],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHost: Neha Garg\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"690878":{"#nid":"690878","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Georgia Tech Space Week","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/space.gatech.edu\/georgia-tech-space-week\u0022\u003EGeorgia Tech Space Week\u003C\/a\u003E, September 22\u201325, 2026, for a dynamic lineup of sessions highlighting emerging priorities across the space domain.
