-===Proposal===
-Curcumin, along with its two derivatives, is a secondary plant metabolite of the turmeric herb 'Curcuma Longa'. A review of curcumin studies suggest curcumin has chemotherapeutic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity, among other uses to be discovered. The current research project aims to successfully isolate and purify curcumin and its derivatives from the plant turmeric. With MeOH under reflux, the curcuminoids will be extracted and subsequently subjected to Flash Chromatography for separation. Once the curcuminoids are separated, NMR data collection will take place to compare the chemical properties of each derivative.
-===Instruments to be used===

-===Research pledge===
-I, Stephanie Saey, have read the Chem/Bioc 430 course syllabus and understand the general structure and expectations of the research program. The above material was prepared after consultation, and in conjunction with my research advisor, Dr. Brad Sturgeon.
