Christine Mullen

Christine Mullen is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University since 2006, specializing in chemical education and structural enzymology. She holds dual B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Texas A&M University (1994) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, San Diego (2001). Prior to her current role, she served as a Post-doctoral Teaching Fellow (2000-2003) and Visiting Assistant Professor (2003-2006) at the University of San Diego.

Her research focuses on pH-dependent structural changes in enzymes like Glycinamide Ribonucleotide Transformylase, exploring active site dynamics and dimerization mechanisms. She teaches courses including Organic Chemistry I and II for non-majors and a writing-intensive laboratory course (CHEM 234) for chemistry majors. She actively engages in university outreach, representing the Chemistry Department at events such as the Regional Science Bowl and advising Cupcakes for a Cause, a student group supporting local nonprofits through baking activities.
