In his doctoral research Paul Adams, Ph.D. explored the structure and dynamics of peptide hormones. A 2000 graduate from Professor Mary Barkley's laboratory, Dr. Adams' contributions to this critical field are highlighted in "Intramolecular Quenching of Tryptophan Fluorescence by the Peptide Bond in Cyclic Hexapeptides," J. Am. Chem. Soc. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell with an NSF Minority Research Fellowship.
"As a doctoral student at Case, my advisor encouraged me to explore collaborative avenues of education in multiple areas of my field of interest, physical biochemistry, to complement my research. This is a concept I continue to employ as I believe it is vital to the success of my research and teaching career."
