Florida Faculty Interests

Area of Interest: Infectious Diseases

Izard, Tina  
studies the structural dynamics of signaling mediators of adhesion junctions.

Micalizio, Glenn  
focuses research on the development of new chemical methods and strategies for the total synthesis of complex biologically interesting natural products, and for the discovery of small molecules with interesting biological properties.

Petrie, Howard  
focuses on the production of specialized blood cells called T lymphocytes, which are central mediators of the immune response. Understanding this is central in developing treatments for immunodeficiencies resulting from environmental exposure (such as HIV/AIDS) or aging.

Roush, William  
focuses on the total synthesis of structurally complex and biologically interesting natural products, development of new synthetic methods and strategies, and on problems in medicinal and bioorganic chemistry.
