Dr. John D. Simon is my PI, a George B. Geller Professor of Chemistry, Chemistry Department Chairman, and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at Duke University. His lab does work primarily in the field of biophysical chemistry, and current projects include structure, function, and metal binding of neuromelanins and the amyloid beta peptide. He was a professor of chemistry at UCSD for a while before coming to Duke. He spends most of his time at work in the Allen Building doing administrative stuff. He has published 209 journal articles and 4 textbooks. He enjoys playing with his kids and spending time with his family. Derek Bush is a 6th year graduate student in my lab working on the amyloid beta projects. He majored in chemistry at Furman University where he was on the cheerleading team. He lives with his wife near Southpoint mall. Lian Hong and Jean Hatcher are post-docs in the lab. Weslyn Ward is a 6th year graduate student. Dana is a second year graduate student.
