Novak, Walter - Wabash College - Department of Chemistry

个人简介

Wally Novak arrived at Wabash in 2009, after a postdoctoral fellowship in X-ray crystallography at Brandeis University. Prof. Novak’s expertise is in the area of biochemistry and his research focuses on the study of proteins found in pathogenic bacteria, particularly transcriptional regulators and small-molecule kinases. Outside the classroom and lab, Prof. Novak is co-advisor to the Theta Delt Fraternity, and he enjoys attending faculty dinners, sporting events and the occasional game of ultimate frisbee. In his free time, Prof. Novak enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, who can also often be found on campus. He has a variety of other interests such as cooking, astronomy, gardening, and maintaining their home which was built in 1892.
