About
Dr. Tim Foley serves as Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Scranton, where he has maintained continuous faculty service since 1999. His academic home resides within the Chemistry Department, with research activities centered in the Loyola Science Center (Room 353).
Dr. Foley's educational foundation includes:
- B.S. from Providence College
- Ph.D. from the University of Rhode Island
His research program critically examines biochemical mechanisms governing protein phosphatases and phosphorylation in neural tissue, with specialized focus on Alzheimer's Disease pathology. This work investigates how disease-specific chemical environments trigger abnormal phosphorylation events that contribute to neurodegeneration, representing a vital intersection of biochemistry and neuroscience with therapeutic implications.
Dr. Foley's laboratory operations in the Loyola Science Center demonstrate sustained research commitment, though specific grant funding details remain unspecified in available materials. His 25+ year tenure at Scranton indicates consistent scholarly contribution to both teaching (biochemistry courses) and specialized research in protein regulation pathways relevant to neurological disorders.
