Matthew K. Zart
| Matthew is a 2000-2004 Self Fellow pursuing
a Ph.D. in chemistry. He received a B.S. (1997) in chemistry and a B.A.
(1997) in biochemistry with highest distinction and honors from the
University of Kansas. He received an M.S. (1998) in chemistry from Northwestern
University. Before returning to KU, Matthew worked for Midwest Research
Institute, Kansas City, Missouri. He has recently presented posters
at the Gordon Research Conference Graduate Seminar for Metals in Biology
and at a national conference of the American Chemical Society. His research
interests center around the design of transition metal-based chemical
catalysts using motifs and insights gleaned from biological systems.
