Parker awarded $110,000 from ACS for biomacromolecule research
Parker’s research aims to understand the behavior of biomacromolecules like nucleic acids and proteins in environmental and energy systems

Kimberly Parker, assistant professor of energy, environmental and chemical engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering, received $110,000 from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund for her proposal “Behavior of Enzymes at the Interfaces of Minerals and Non-Aqueous Liquids.”
A primary scientific goal of Parker’s research group is to understand the behavior of biomacromolecules like nucleic acids and proteins in environmental and energy systems.
