معرفی
Tony Mittermaier is a **Professor** in the Department of Chemistry at McGill University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science. He holds a B.Sc. in Biophysics from the University of Guelph (1996) and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto (2003). His research focuses on **biomolecular dynamics**, exploring how proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites change shape, interact, and assemble. This work informs drug development, bio-inspired materials, and fundamental understanding of biological systems.
His lab employs three pillars: **experiments** (e.g., ITC, NMR, DSC), **theory** (physical chemistry principles), and **computation** (modeling). Current projects include nucleic acid folding mechanisms, drug discovery for kinases and riboswitches, viral-based materials engineering, and lanthipeptide synthesis. Collaborations include labs led by Moitessier, Blum, Thibodeaux, and Sleiman.
He teaches **CHEM 520: Methods in Chemical Biology** (Fall 2025) and **CHEM 555: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy**, requiring prerequisites in biochemistry and physical chemistry. His lab is located in Pulp & Paper Building (office 102, lab 304), and he runs the **Mittermaier Group** focused on biophysical approaches to biomolecular function.
