What's News:
New Tenure-Track Professor: Kathryn Splan
Kathryn Splan is an inorganic and bio- chemist 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.
