Trey Maddox

Job Title

• Adjunct Associate Professor of Chemistry
  Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences

Highlight

Maddox's research focuses on two classical areas of organic chemistry, synthesis and natural product isolation. His main project focuses on the synthesis of modified DNA and RNA nucleosides. These modified nucleosides can be used to study template directed polymerization, the core mechanism in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. His newest project is developing protocols for the isolation and identification of biologically active compounds in different herbal remedies that have been used by different cultures for centuries. This research aims to identify previously unknown compounds that demonstrate important biological activity.
