Katherine A.
Kantardjieff (Past Chair)
CSU San Marcos, College of Science and Math, San Marcos, CA 92096 |
|
Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry, Cal Poly Pomona (on
leave from CSU Fullerton until May 2011). Director of the W.M. Keck Foundation Center for
Molecular Structure. She completed Ph.D and postdoctoral work in physical
chemistry and structural biology at UCLA with David Eisenberg. Kantardjieff's
laboratory is the only member of the Tuberculosis Structural Genomics
Consortium from a non-PhD granting institution. CMolS is comprised of
comprehensive X-ray diffraction and computational laboratories supporting
research and education as a core facility in the 23-campus CSU, as well as the
STaRBURSTT-CyberDiffraction Consortium, a nationwide virtual organization of
predominantly undergraduate institutions. CMolS pioneered the use of remote
instrumentation access at PUIs and, since 2006, CMolS is a research partner
with SSRL. Kantardjieff's own research investigates protein structure and
function, employing combined experimental and in silico approaches of
crystallography, biophysical methods, computation and informatics. The
knowledge gained is applied to the engineering of molecules with specific
properties, and to structure-guided drug design. Systems of current interest
include bacterial cytochromes c', carbonyl reductases, cholinesterases and
several tuberculosis proteins. Kantardjieff and collaborators at Fullerton have
established a research computing cluster for computational biochemistry and
crystallography, which is part of a larger CSU system-wide, distributed
computing resource. Kantardjieff has developed and deployed crystallography and
computational courses and workshops, including some delivered entirely online,
at both the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. She has led national and
international efforts in crystallography education and training. Kantardjieff's
activities led to her election to the United States National Committee for
Crystallography, of which she is currently Vice Chair. |

relationships in organic semiconductors with emphasis on the role of defects.
In collaboration with M. Toney at SSRL his group has developed
synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction techniques to measure quantitatively
paracrystalline disorder and degree of texture and crystallinity in
semiconducting polymers. These microstructure parameters are used to understand
how disorder at different length-scales affects charge transport. His group has
also used anomalous X-ray diffraction to study Al and GA doping of ZnO
nanostructures.
