Prof. Mertz presents Work at Experimental Biology 2017

Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Pamela Mertz presented a poster at Experimental Biology 2017 on April 23 in Chicago, IL. titled “A Multiweek Tyrosinase Inhibitor and Analysis Project:  A Capstone Experiment for the Undergraduate Biochemistry Laboratory Course.” The poster was co-authored by two St. Mary’s College faculty: Kelly Neiles, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, and Amanda Schech, Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, as well as by two faculty from other institutions: Craig Streu (Albion College) and Randall Reif (University of Mary Washington). The poster focused on merging student interest in drug design with the foundational and technical skills necessary for biochemistry students to be successful in a novel drug synthesis and analysis project.
