Jeanette Nangreave

Jeanette Nangreave earned a PhD in Chemistry from ASU in 2011. During and after graduate school, between 2008 and 2014, she co-published 28 articles in the field of DNA nanotechnology in journals such as Science, Nature, and Journal of the American Chemical Society. Additionally, Jeanette served as Lab Manager of the Biodesign Center for Molecular Design and Biomimetics from 2011-2014, mentoring dozens of undergraduate researchers, graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and visiting scientists. After an unexpected personal tragedy struck Jeanette and her family in July 2014, she relocated and began teaching and managing the academic laboratory space at ASU@Lake Havasu.

For the past eight years Jeanette taught 100 and 400 level courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and university to undergraduates in more than a dozen majors at ASU@Lake Havasu. She also serves as non-clinical internship coordinator for nearly 15 majors, helping develop opportunities for ASU students to gain real-world experience with community partners. In addition to lecturing and managing the academic laboratory, Jeanette has a passion for community projects. She is especially interested in distilling complex scientific principles down to the point where anyone (of any age) can better understand and appreciate the natural world.
