Dr. Kennedy’s research focuses on the development of nanoscale analytical techniques and their use in the measurement of neurotransmitters and hormones. His goals include observing these measurements both in vivo and in single cells. Dr. Kennedy’s research in the dynamics of extracellular signaling molecules is being applied to fundamental studies of G-proteins, proteins with SH2 domains, and phosphorylated proteins. Much of this research applies to the field of brain neurochemistry and the role of these molecules in a wide variety of mental disorders. Dr. Kennedy received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and has received a number of society and industry awards for innovation and creativity in Analytical Chemistry |
