Professor Bradley L. Nilsson
Andrew S. Kende Professor in Synthetic Organic Chemistry; Director of Material Science
Bradley Nilsson conducted PhD studies in organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Professor Ronald T. Raines studying methodology for the chemoselective ligation of peptides. He subsequently completed postdoctoral research in synthetic organic chemistry with Professor Larry E. Overman at the University of California, Irvine.
He joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Rochester in 2006. The Nilsson group is interested in molecular recognition and self-assembly phenomena of peptides and proteins leading to amyloid and in the development of amyloid-inspired materials and therapeutics
