David D. Boehr

David D. Boehr is a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University, with affiliations to the Penn State Cancer Institute under the Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis program. His research integrates structural biology and enzyme dynamics to understand catalytic mechanisms and allosteric regulation.

• Enzyme Biochemistry
• Protein Dynamics
• Picornavirus Replication
• Lipid Membrane Interactions

He has secured significant grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), including a long-term NIAID grant (2014–2025) focused on picornavirus conformational rearrangements and an NSF grant (2011–2017) on protein motions in enzyme catalysis. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals through biochemical advancements.
