NSF Supports Chemist Samantha Glazier's Research

In Chemistry, Associate Professor Samantha Glazier is a co-principal investigator on a new award from the NSF. The project, entitled "Major Research Instrumentation (MRI): Acquisition of an Isothermal Titration Calorimeter," is a partnership with investigators at nearby State University of New York at Potsdam (which served as the lead institution) and Clarkson University. The new ITC will facilitate Professor Glazier's investigations of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of drug-DNA threading mechanisms. Overall, the project is designed to prepare students for entry into the workforce and graduate or professional schools by introducing them to the latest scientific technologies and by training them on state-of-the art instruments that enhance their educational and research experiences.
