RESEARCH SUPPORT

ATACC Software Grant Proposal

December 1, 2005

Elon University

Awarded $1,720 in funds to purchase curve-fitting software to analyze raditaion data obtained from literature, with the purpose of improving the physical chemistry laboratory curriculum. A new computer-based laboratory was added to the curriculum.

NSF, Research Site for Educators in Chemistry (RSEC) Fellowship, Grant # CHE9974734

June 1, 2005 to August 1, 2005

University of Tennessee at Knoxville

Awarded $14,500 in funds and an opportunity to conduct photochemical research with Dr. Richard Pagni, Professor of Chemistry. The project was titled “Photochemistry of 8-methoxypsoralen and l-tryptophan”. In the process of leaving industry and going into academics I needed to develop an independent research program. One area that interested me was PUVA (Psoralen-UVA) therapy. Psoriasis is prevalent in my immediate and extended family and many of us have undergone PUVA therapy. I used the RSEC fellowship as an opportunity to train in the area of photochemistry and to initiate an undergraduate research program. In addition to the $14,500, I received $1000 to buy a small photochemical reactor which I have used to obtain preliminary data.

Coastal Carolina University Research Enhancement Grant

December 1, 2006 to August 24, 2007

Coastal Carolina University

Awarded $4000 in funds and the project title was: “Harvest and purification of the enzyme histidase from E. coli. Bacteria”. In order to pursue the proposed research the enzyme histidase must be available. Unfortunately, histidase is not available commercially. I obtained modified E. coli. , which over-expresses histidase, from Professor Janos Retey (retired) at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. I presently have a program to harvest and purify the enzyme needed for my research.

Coastal Carolina University Research Enhancement Grant

December 1, 2007 to August 24, 2008

Coastal Carolina University

Awarded $4000 in funds and the project title is: “Inhibition of the enzymes cytochrome P450 CYP 3A5 and CYP3A4 via 8-methoxypsoralen”. I am pursuing research on the mechanism of inhibition for the intestinal enzyme cytochrome P450 and this grant allows me to expand my undergraduate research program that I am developing here at Coastal Carolina University. On a more fundamental level the results of the project will contribute to the areas or enzyme inhibition and to nutrition and medicine specifically to the area of drug-drug interaction.

Coastal Carolina University Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grant

January 1, 2007 to January 1, 2008

Coastal Carolina University

Awarded $1500.00 from the Center for Teaching and Learning at Coastal Carolina University. The project title was: “A writing component for the second-semester physical chemistry curriculum”. A writing component was introduced to the second-semester, physical chemistry course involving ethical issues that students might face in their careers. Case studies introduced included concerns over industry-funded research and the behavior of scientists when drawn into involvement with weapons of mass destruction. Students were asked to read additional material, to write six short essays on ethical issues and a final paper on an ethical topic in chemistry. Student feedback on the component was studied to determine: To what extent did the introduction of scientific history, in an undergraduate physical chemistry course change their attitudes and perceptions on atomic weaponry and scientific ethical issues? To what extent did the student’s writing improve, in non-laboratory essays, with the introduction of ethical, historical and scientific issues?
