James Brozik

James A. Brozik is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Washington State University. His research spans biophysics, biosensor development, and molecular-scale instrumentation design.

• Research Focus: Biophysical studies of protein dynamics, membrane-bound ion channels, and thermodynamic principles of molecular interactions.
• Instrumentation: Development of time-resolved spectroscopy, single-molecule fluorescence systems, and microfabricated electrochemical cells.

Publication Trends show a focus on membrane proteins (aquaporin-4, cytochrome P450), photophysical characterization, and single-molecule tracking methodologies. Recent work emphasizes S-palmitoylation effects and redox-dependent protein insertion mechanisms.

Collaborations include interdisciplinary projects with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, utilizing advanced imaging techniques like STED and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
