Professor Debbie Mohler specializes in Bioinorganic and Organic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, James Madison University. She serves as a First Year Advisor, guiding undergraduate students in their academic journeys.
- Education: Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley (1992), B.S. from College of William and Mary (1985)
Research Focus: Dr. Mohler's work centers on chromatin structure analysis through DNA footprinting techniques. Her laboratory develops in vivo DNA cleaving agents and synthesizes siRNA analogs for molecular biology applications. Additionally, she investigates organic and organometallic dyes in model solar energy systems, with emphasis on:
- Interfacial electron transfer mechanisms
- Photoinduced charge separation dynamics
- Metal complex-mediated DNA damage
- Thioalkyl ligand synthesis
- Quantum dot-organometallic interactions
- Bioorganic solar energy conversion
Recent publications highlight her interdisciplinary approach combining synthetic chemistry with biophysical applications. The articles demonstrate expertise in both traditional organic synthesis and modern nanomaterial characterization techniques.
