Dr.
Kenneth Brown's research group uses
NMR and x-ray crystallography techniques to understand the enzymology of coenzyme B12 dependent enzymes. Dr.
Susan Evans' laboratory uses genetic techniques and transgenic animals to understand the function of tumor suppressor genes. Dr.
Jennifer Hines' research group is involved in the development of ribonucleic acid molecules, which will be used as the next generation of therapeutics. Members of Dr.
Marcia Kieliszweski's laboratory are researching the structure and biological function of plant cell wall proteins. Dr.
Tadeusz Malinski's research group is developing sophisticated analytical techniques for the measurement of nitric oxide in a single cell, and Dr.
Martin Tuck's laboratory is researching the relationship between biological methylation reactions and the carcinogenesis process.
Each investigator in the Biochemistry division conducts research projects that allow all students - undergraduate, masters or doctoral - hands-on laboratory experience. Recent graduates of Biochemistry at Ohio University have gone on to begin exciting scientific careers in academic, government and industrial environments. Another advantage to the student is that the research groups of the division are relatively small, allowing personal contact with the advisor, a trademark of the Ohio University graduate programs.
