Ewa Kowal

Ewa Kowal is an Associate Professor in the School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at Trevecca Nazarene University. Her academic background includes a B.S. and M.S. from Wrocław University of Technology (Poland) and a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University.

Her research focuses on structural biology and biochemistry, particularly studying DNA adducts induced by environmental chemicals, synthetic nucleosides, and the structural dynamics of nucleic acids. Key techniques in her work include X-ray crystallography, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and molecular modeling.

Her recent publications (2011–2018) highlight structural insights into DNA modifications such as epoxide-induced adducts, interstrand stacking interactions, and the design of synthetic nucleic acid analogs. These studies contribute to understanding DNA repair mechanisms and chemical carcinogenesis pathways.
