Morris, Aimee - Fort Lewis College - Chemistry and Biochemistry Department

个人简介

Inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry Catalysis using transition metal compounds Ph.D., Chemistry, Colorado State University, 2009 Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, Western Washington University, 2004 Aimee Morris is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Fort Lewis College. She joined the college in 2012 as a visiting instructor of inorganic chemistry and became a full-time faculty member in 2014. She researches inorganic chemistry and its biological applications. Currently, Dr. Morris’ research group is designing and synthesizing small molecule cobalt complexes in order to investigate their potential use as pro-drugs in hypoxic cancer cells. Her other research interests include testing catalytic applications of small metal-containing complexes. Dr. Morris has advised Fort Lewis student researchers under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences-Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) U-STAR program and the National Science Foundation Four Corners STEM Success (FOCUSS) program. Those students have worked on synthesizing new cobalt coordination complexes using various oxidation-reduction techniques, as well as ligand substitution reactions. Prior to joining Fort Lewis, Dr. Morris was a faculty associate at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and a National Institutes of Health neuro-postdoctoral fellow at Brandeis University. Dr. Morris is the faculty advisor for the Women in Science club at Fort Lewis.
