Lee Solomon Assistant Professor
Chemistry & Biochemistry Department
Welcome to the Solomon Group! Please look around and see the cool research being done in our lab. We are working at the interface of biology and chemistry to both understand natural function, but also to develop new technologies to improve people’s lives. For example, we are trying to develop artificial kinase proteins, which will teach us about these natural proteins and lead to interventions against a variety of diseases. Similarly, we are developing peptide-materials into life saving wound dressings that can help the body repair the damage faster and keep the wound free from microbes. These will also teach us about natural oxidoreductase proteins in nature.
