Dr. Amy Mullin
Dr. Mullin comes to Maryland from Boston University, where she was Associate Chair for Graduate Admissions in addition to being a faculty member. She is recognized for her research in laser spectroscopy and molecular energy transfer. She has been the recipient of a Clare Boothe Luce Professorship, an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and an NSF CAREER Award. She was also recognized as an American Young Leader by the American Swiss Foundation and as well as an Outstanding Mentor by the 2001 Siemens Westinghouse High School Science Competition. Dr. Mullin received her PhD from University of Colorado, Boulder, and did postdoctoral work at Columbia University. |

Dr. Ashton Cropp
The recipient of a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award, Dr. Cropp was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Scripps Research Institute, where he developed a genetic selection system for evolving the substrate specificity of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Dr. Cropp studies combinatorial design of natural products biosynthesis, bioorganic chemistry, protein engineering, and synthetic biology. He received his PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Virginia Commonwealth University |

Dr. Catherine Fenselau
Catherine Fenselau has conducted research in mass spectrometry and its applications in pharmacology for twenty-five years. Her current research program addresses the mechanisms by which cancer cells become resistant to anti-cancer drugs during treatment. Her group also works to make mass spectrometry a fieldable method for rapid identification of microorganisms. She is associate editor of Analytical Chemistry, a founding council member of the International Human Proteome Organization, founding President of U.S. HUPO, past president of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, and founding editor of Biomedical Mass Spectrometry (now Journal of Mass Spectrometry). Fenselau received the A.B. from Bryn Mawr College in and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. |
