Dr. Partha Basu Dr. Basu is interested in understanding the structure function relation in mononuclear molybdenum enzymes such as the nitrate reductase and arsenate reductase. His current research is targeted to understand the oxygen atom transfer reactivity in various molybdenum containing enzymes. |
 |
Dr. Ellen Gawalt Dr. Gawalt's group focuses on interfacial reactions on metal and ceramic biomaterials. Our current project involves enhancing implant biocompatibility by resisting protein and cellular adhesion on metal surfaces. |
|
|
Dr. H.M. "Skip" Kingston Dr. Kingston's current research interests include speciation of mercury species in biological samples using novel methodologies. |
|
|
Dr. Tomislav Pintauer Dr. Pintauer's research interests are in the areas of inorganic and organometallic chemistry with special emphasis on homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis by transition metal complexes. Also of interests are the exploration of amino acid functionalized transition metal complexes in supramolecular chemistry, electron transfer, molecular recognition and drug delivery. |

Dr. Kyle W. Selcer Dr. Selcer's current research is to investigate environmental toxicants that disrupt the endocrine system, the role of steroids in reproduction of reptiles and amphibians and new drugs for the treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancer. In many cases, Zn seems to play a role which is yet to be clearly understood. |
|
|
Dr. David W. Seybert Dr. Seybert is interested in metal-catalyzed lipid peroxidation (LP) and the functional effects of LP byproducts on cellular macromolecules Other interests include membrane control of regioselectivity of cytochrome P450. |
|
|
Dr. John F. Stolz Dr. Stolz is interested in understanding microbial role in transforming inorganic compounds. His current research project focuses in the microbial transformation of arsenic, selenium and nitrate. |
