Joshua Blose

Joshua Blose is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the State University of New York at Brockport. His research focuses on the structural stability and folding of nucleic acids under cellular conditions, particularly the effects of osmolytes and macromolecular crowding.

Education:

• PhD in Biochemistry from Pennsylvania State University

Research Interests: Dr. Blose's work investigates how cellular environments influence nucleic acid behavior, using spectroscopic techniques like UV-Vis, CD, fluorescence, and SAXS. Key areas include stability of non-Watson-Crick base pairs, bulged nucleotides, hairpin loops, and riboswitch regulation of gene expression.

Publications: Dr. Blose has contributed to studies cited in journals such as Journal of Molecular Biology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Biochemistry, with recent work spanning 2007-2011.
