Lindsey Ingerman James

Lindsey Ingerman James, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry department at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She contributes to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center's Molecular Therapeutics program, focusing on chemical biology approaches to chromatin regulation.

• Specializes in lysine methylation in epigenetics
• Develops chemical probes for methyl-lysine reader proteins
• Applies probes to study HIV latency mechanisms

Her lab has pioneered biochemical assays and medicinal chemistry strategies for high-quality probe development targeting chromatin regulators. Key achievements include developing a compound that selectively degrades cancer-linked proteins (2025 news).

Scientific Awards:

• 2025: Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prize (UNC-Chapel Hill)
