Phoebe Glazer

Phoebe Glazer is a Professor at North Carolina State University, specializing in Chemical Biology and Inorganic Chemistry. Her research focuses on developing photoactive molecules for biomedical applications, particularly in cancer therapy and enzyme dynamics. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biochemistry from UC San Diego (2003) and a B.A. in Chemistry and English from Williams College (1996).

Her work integrates inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and biophysics to design targeted drug delivery systems, such as ruthenium-based anticancer agents and light-activated probes. Key projects include hypoxia-selective anticancer drugs, dual-emission coordination complexes, and studies on enzyme-substrate interactions in cytochrome P450 systems.

Publications highlight advancements in photodynamic therapy, drug mechanism elucidation, and high-throughput screening methods. She leads a lab advancing interdisciplinary approaches to control biological processes with light.
