Linda S. Brunauer

Linda S. Brunauer serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry within Santa Clara University's College of Arts and Sciences. She earned her B.S. from San Jose State University (1978) with Departmental Honors and Great Distinction, and completed her Ph.D. at UCLA in 1984.

Educational background includes:

• B.S., San Jose State University, 1978 (Departmental Honors, Great Distinction)
• Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles, 1984

Her research centers on lipid-hemoglobin binding interactions and biochemical education methodology. Key investigations include phospholipid extraction from erythrocyte membranes by hemoglobin oxidation products and electrophoretic characterization of lactate dehydrogenase. She has developed innovative laboratory experiments in size exclusion chromatography and organic synthesis specifically designed for high school through university educational settings, demonstrating a strong commitment to pedagogical advancement in chemical sciences.

Publication trends (2007-2016) reveal dual expertise: research articles exploring lipid-protein dynamics in biological membranes, and educational scholarship creating accessible laboratory protocols for chromatography and electrophoresis. This work bridges fundamental biochemical research with practical classroom applications across multiple educational levels.
