RESEARCH AND TEACHING EXPERIENCE: B.S. Hope College, MI, 1986 Ph.D. (Biochemistry), Texas A&M University, 1992 Post-Doctoral Research Assistant, Department of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis, 1992-1996 Assistant Professor, Chemistry Program, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, 1996-1998 Assistant Professor, Chemistry Department, John Carroll University, 1998-2004 Associate Professor, Chemistry Department, John Carroll University, 2004-present Chair, Chemistry Department, John Carroll University, 2005-present |
| Dr. Mascotti joined the faculty in the summer of 1998. He completed his Ph.D. in 1992 studying nucleic acid chemistry and the interactions of synthetic peptides (that served as simpler models of proteins) with DNA and RNA. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Mascotti accepted a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellowship to work at Washington University in St. Louis. While there, he studied iron metabolism and the control mechanisms of ferritin synthesis. After his postdoctoral work, he was an assistant professor at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey for two years. In addition to being departmental Chair, he now teaches general chemistry and biochemistry. His current research interests include continuation of his earlier efforts to understand the chemical forces governing protein-nucleic acid interactions, as well as how those interactions influence gene expression. He has served as Chemistry Department Chair since 2005. |
