معرفی
Dr. Deborah Gater serves as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Associate Director for Enrolment Management at Northeastern University London, part of the CoMENS Faculty. She holds dual Master’s degrees (Chemistry and Protein/Membrane Chemical Biology) and a PhD in Chemistry from Imperial College London. Her research bridges membrane biophysics, solid-state NMR, and educational innovation, focusing on cholesterol-membrane interactions and technology-enhanced chemistry teaching. She previously worked at Khalifa University and UCL’s Centre for Languages and International Education.
Her research explores cholesterol’s role in membrane systems, semiconductor-based biosensors, and vitamin D’s effects on membranes. She collaborates across disciplines to advance biophysical techniques and educational accessibility. Teaching areas include general/organic chemistry and drug discovery for apprenticeships.
- Key Research Areas: Membrane biophysics, solid-state NMR, amino acid detection via GaAs sensors, vitamin delivery systems, and evidence-based teaching methods.
- Notable Projects: Development of transdermal vitamin D3 systems, chip-based biochemical sensors, and Moodle-based online assessment analytics.
- Locations: Based at Northeastern’s London campus (Devon House, E1W 1LP).
Dr. Gater’s work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, with publications spanning chemical education, biophysical methods, and material science applications. Her teaching innovations address inclusivity and technology integration in STEM education.
