Profiles in "Biochemistry" Expertise Area

  • Dr. Morgan is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences. She primarily teaches in the General Chemistry program for several courses including CHM 113, 114, and 116.
  • Wade Van Horn's current interests focus on the interplay between biomolecular function and structure, especially as it relates to human physiology and pathophysiology.
  • Mills' research focuses on the use of computational protein design methods to engineer proteins in which non-canonical amino acids carry out important functions.
  • Stephanopoulos' interests include the synthesis of novel protein- and peptide-DNA nanomaterials and their application to biology, medicine, energy, and fundamental self-assembly.
  • Brent Nannenga associate professor of chemical engineering in SEMTE. His research focuses on method development and new applications of structural biology and protein engineering
  • Zain Bukhari is involved with Dr. Wayne Frasch’s research in SoLS, using gold nanorods to analyze the biophysics of the FoF1-ATP synthase. This work is innovative, interdisciplinary, and applicable to the medical field.
  • Pintér has most recently taught biology and chemistry, biotechnology, forensic chemistry and microbiology and developed courses for genetics, forensic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry.
  • Grant McFadden directs the Biodesign Center for Immunotherapy, Vaccines, and Virotherapy (BCIVV) at ASU. The McFadden lab studies how poxviruses that cause immunosuppression interact with the host immune system.
