Leah Lowder |
 |
| Graduate Student | |
| Leah is a senior graduate student, synthesizing and investigating molecules that are designed to cause DNA double strand breaks. Leah has also been investigating novel DNA-damaging compounds that can target cells over-expressing the estrogen receptor, such as breast cancer cells; and cells that overexpress the androgen receptor, such as prostate cancer cells. Leah received her BS in Biology from UNCW and was also an undergraduate student in our laboratory. |
Catherine Mills |
 |
| Graduate Student | |
| Catherine is a senior graduate student synthesizing and investigating site-specific DNA-methylating compounds that can be taken up by cancer cells via glucose transporters. Catherine has also been investigating novel DNA-damaging compounds that can target cells over expressing the androgen receptor, such as prostate cancer cells. Catherine received her BS in Chemistry from UNCW, and was also an undergraduate student in our laboratory. |
Jason King |
 |
| Graduate Student | |
| Jason King is a second year graduate student whose project involves synthesizing DNA-minor groove binding compounds that can target cancer cells overexpressing the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter. Jason received his BS in Chemistry and BA Physics from UNCW. |
Courtney Houston Murphy |
 |
| Graduate Student | |
| Courtney is a second year graduate student investigating molecules that are designed to cause DNA double strand breaks. Courtney received her BS in Biology from UNC Chapel Hill. |
