معرفی
Daniel F. Moriarty is Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Siena University, where he has served since 2002 in progressive academic roles. Based in Morrell Science Center, he teaches foundational courses including General Chemistry and advanced Physical Biochemistry for seniors.
His educational background:
- B.S. Chemistry, Siena College
- M.S. Chemistry, SUNY Stony Brook
- Ph.D. Chemistry, SUNY Stony Brook
Research focuses on Protein Folding mechanisms, Amyloid Diseases (Alzheimer's/Type II Diabetes), Astrobiology (prebiotic peptide formation), and Antibacterial Natural Products from plants. His work bridges fundamental biochemistry with real-world applications through undergraduate research mentorship.
Publication analysis shows evolution from protein folding fundamentals (1998-2007) toward applied natural products research and educational technology innovation (2013), reflecting dual commitment to scientific discovery and pedagogical advancement.
No major scientific awards are documented in available records. His mentorship is evidenced by extensive student research presentations at Siena College symposia and ACS national meetings.
Dr. Moriarty maintains an active undergraduate research program in Morrell Science Center, directing projects on protein stability analysis, antibacterial compound isolation, and prebiotic chemistry using techniques including mass spectrometry, DSC, and 2D gel electrophoresis.
