University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, 1999 Kathryn Splan is an inorganic and biochemist with a background in porphyrin chemistry and medicinal biochemistry. She arrived at Macalester in the Fall of 2007 and teaches in both the biochemistry and introductory chemistry sequences. Her current research focuses on Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs), which play a key role in the control of programmed cell death. Specifically, her current work focuses on the development and characterization multivalent peptide inhibitors that target IAPs and explores the metal binding properties of IAPs from a bioinorganic and biophysical perspective. Prof. Splan is excited to pursue her varied research interests alongside Macalester students with interests at the interface of Chemistry and Biology. Prof. Splan is originally from Duluth, MN and is thrilled to be beginning her career at Macalester College.
