John Stubbs profiled in Courier's 'Neighbors’ column

John Stubbs, Ph.D., 51СƳassociate professor of chemistry, was profiled in the weekly "Neighbors" column of the Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier, which focused on a recent $150,000 National Science Foundation grant Stubbs received to continue his research on DNA modeling.

Stubbs’ research project, entitled “RUI: Molecular Simulation of DNA Interactions in Oligonucleotide Microarrays,” has extensive biomedical, forensic and environmental applications because it easily enables mutation detection, genetic sequencing (both having impacts on genetic disorder disease screening), species identification, and RNA expression to be carried out.
