Biography
Quinnipiac University - Chemistry
Ph.D. biochemist with expertise in nucleic acid chemistry, chemical biology, enzymology, and structural biology
Research
Nicolas N.
Carrasco
Greater New York City Area
I am a Ph.D. biochemist with multidisciplinary research experiences in the fields of synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, enzymology, and structural biology. I have expertise in nucleic acid chemistry, RNA catalysis, and mechanism of protein synthesis by the ribosome; extensive practical experience in the design and execution of challenging synthetic schemes using both solution-phase and solid-phase chemical and enzymatic approaches; and extensive practical knowledge in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of oligonucleotide derivatives, nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, peptides, and proteins.
