I am a member of the Chemistry Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). IUP is a primarily undergraduate, teaching-oriented university in rural western Pennsylvania, about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA. Most of my professional work has not involved biotechnology. Recently, I've become involved in some work related to protein expression and mutagenesis, which is why I'm here.
I learned about OpenWetWare from a web search for information on isolating DNA from fungus, and I've joined because I am a chemist who is involved with biotechnology. I like having access to protocols that I might need and I can contribute in the area of separation and purification..
