معرفی
Heidi Anderson is a Lecturer in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry at Clemson University. She holds a BS in Biology from North Greenville University (2005), an MPH from the University of Virginia (2012), and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Clemson University (2011). Her research focuses on enzymology and drug development targeting Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite responsible for African sleeping sickness. She has contributed to studies on hexokinase inhibition and metabolic pathways in parasites.
Education:
- BS, Biology, North Greenville University, 2005
- PhD, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Clemson University, 2011
- MPH, University of Virginia, 2012
Research interests include understanding enzymatic mechanisms in parasitic organisms and identifying novel therapeutic targets. Her work bridges molecular biology with public health applications, particularly in global health contexts. She has published extensively on Trypanosoma brucei hexokinases and their inhibition by small molecules and natural products.
Teaching focuses on biochemistry courses such as BCHM 3050 and BCHM 3010. No grants or awards are explicitly listed in the profile. She previously taught at North Greenville University before returning to Clemson.
Labs/Teams: No specific lab or team affiliation is mentioned beyond her departmental affiliation.
