Cynthia M. Dupureur

Cynthia M. Dupureur is affiliated with the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the Educator Preparation & Leadership department. Her research focuses on the intersection of biochemistry, biophysics, and computational chemistry, particularly in designing solvatochromic probes for biological applications.

Her work leverages DFT calculations to correlate computational dipole moments with experimental solvatochromic behavior, enabling student-friendly design strategies for environment-sensitive molecular probes. Recent research explores lipid dynamics, cellular bioimaging, and molecular sensor development.

The 2024 publication in Liquids demonstrates her focus on computational modeling for tuning probe properties like solubility and emission wavelength, with implications for cellular dynamics monitoring and targeted biosensors.
