Kristin M. Fox

Kristin M. Fox is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Union College, specializing in protein biochemistry and enzymology. Her research focuses on metacaspases from Schizophyllum commune, exploring calcium-dependent regulation and structure-function relationships through mutagenesis and activity assays.

• Education: B.S. from Lafayette College, Ph.D. from Cornell University, postdoc at Manhattan College
• Teaching: Courses in introductory chemistry, biochemistry, and advanced topics in biomolecular structure.

Her research spans enzymology, bioinorganic chemistry, and biochemical education. Recent projects include NSF-funded initiatives on molecular life sciences and mechanical forces in embryonic development. She contributes to interdisciplinary programs like the Beckman Scholars Program.

Publications reflect diverse expertise in structural biology, metal-based therapeutics, and educational assessment frameworks. Grants emphasize collaborative research and undergraduate training networks.
