Steven Magennis

Dr. Steven Magennis is a Professor in Physical Chemistry at the School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow. His research focuses on single-molecule fluorescence techniques to study DNA structure, dynamics, and reactivity.

• Key Research Areas: Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, DNA Structural Biology
• Institution: University of Glasgow, UK

His work leverages fluorescent nucleobase analogs, two-photon excitation, and single-molecule FRET to unravel DNA conformational changes and interactions. Recent studies include metallation effects on DNA dynamics and trinucleotide repeat behavior.

Selected trends from 15 most recent articles highlight expertise in fluorescent probe development, DNA junction analysis, and optical detection methods. Collaborations span institutions in the UK and beyond.
