个人简介

B.A., Chemistry, University of Washington Ph.D., Biological Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles Member, American Association for the Advancement of Science Member, American Society for Cell Biology

研究领域

Dr. Draper’s research interests are the molecular mechanisms of membrane trafficking in eukaryotic cells and applications of molecular and cell biology to the emerging field of bionanotechnology. Biology projects currently underway include the use small interfering RNA (siRNA) fragments to suppress proteins involved in membrane traffic and the study of coat protein that function in the Golgi complex. Bionanotechnology projects include interfacing proteins with carbon nanotubes and the use of nanoelectrodes to study neural function.
