Chi H. Mak

Chi H. Mak is a Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on formulating theories and computational strategies to understand nucleic acid folding mechanisms and their aberrant functions. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1988) and a B.S. from the University of California, Berkeley (1984).

• Education:
• Ph.D., Chemistry, Stanford University, 1988
• B.S., Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, 1984

Research interests span Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Biophysics, with emphasis on nucleic acid dynamics and structural biology. His computational approaches address molecular-level mechanisms of folding and misfolding processes. A group website provides further details on ongoing projects.
