Corey P. Causey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of North Florida. His research focuses on the development of peptoid-based inhibitors for protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and the application of molecular-ruler techniques in nanotechnology. He has secured competitive grants, including his role as CoPI in the RUI-funded project on nanostructure fabrication.
- Education: PhD, MS, and BS from East Carolina University (2001, 2001, 2000).
Causey’s research spans Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, and Nanotechnology, with a primary emphasis on designing chemical tools (e.g., peptoids) to target epigenetic enzymes like PRMT1. His work has implications for cancer therapy, including apoptosis and autophagy induction. In materials science, he has advanced the molecular-ruler process for nanostructure creation, contributing to surface chemistry and self-assembly methodologies.
His 36 research outputs include studies on PRMT inhibition, nanofabrication, and chemical probe development. Notably, his 2022 paper explores peptoid-induced cell death mechanisms in cancer, while earlier works (2015–2017) detail innovations in nanografting and vapor deposition techniques.
