معرفی
Cho Chan is a Lecturer in the Chemistry and Physical Sciences Department at Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, Pace University, New York City campus. She teaches a broad range of courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, forensic chemistry, and molecular biology, including both lecture and laboratory components.
Research Interests: Her research centers on microbial interactions with environments and other microbes through cell surface proteins. She integrates molecular, chemical, and functional analyses to study how environmental conditions affect protein adherence properties. Another key focus is the use of amyloid-perturbing compounds to inhibit cell-to-cell and cell-to-surface interactions, particularly in the context of biofilm formation. Understanding the environmental modulation of amyloid regions in adhesion molecules holds potential for advancing medical treatments targeting biofilms.
Teaching Portfolio: Courses taught include CHE 111/112 (General Chemistry I & II), CHE 223/224 (Organic Chemistry), CHE 326 (Biochemistry), CHE 329 (Advanced Biochemistry Lab), BMB 620, BMB 630 (Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Proteomics), FOR 505 (Molecular Biology), FOR 537 (Forensic Biology), and research/thesis courses such as CHE 480, BMB 710-712. She also teaches SCI 101 (The Planet Earth) and UNV 101 (First-Year Seminar).
