Paul Agris PhD

Dr. Paul Agris has developed beginning undergraduate course for freshman and sophomore biochemistry and other science and non-science majors who lack college chemistry. Course based on molecular evolution allows students to learn chemistry, biochemistry and associated biology simultaneously.

He continues to develop a multidisciplinary course in biophysical chemistry for beginning graduate students and for undergraduate seniors. The course brings instruction and instructors together from the disciplines of biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, biomath/statistics, microbiology, and physics to teach macromolecular chemistry and structure with regard to function, functional folding of macromolecules, biometals, macromolecular dynamics and motors, functional genomics.
