Natalie G. Ahn Ph.D. is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her research is focused understanding the mechanisms of cell signaling, especially in relation to phosphorylation and cancers.[1] Ahn's work uses the tools of "classical chemistry" to work on understanding the genetic code and how genetics affects life processes.[2] She has been a professor at University of Colorado at Boulder since 2003, where she is a Professor of Distinction.[3] She was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator between 1994 and 2014.[4]
Biography
Ahn earned her bachelors degree from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1979.[5] In 1985, she completed her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley.[5] She started working at CU-Boulder in 1992.[6] Ahn was part of the Searle Scholars Program to fund young scientists' work in 1993.[7]
Ahn was one of eight project collaborators who won a grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation for identifying proteins in a single cell type.[8] In 2012, she was named College Professor of Distinction at Colorado University.[6] In 2014, she became part of the Subcellular Pan-Omics for Advanced Rapid Threat Assessment (SPARTA) team which is a biochemical project supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[9] Ahn is published in BMC Bioinformatics,[10] Science,[11] The EMBO Journal,[12] the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry,[13] Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry,[14] and others.
