Eamonn F. Healy, PhD, is the Brother Lucian Blersch Professor of Science and Professor of Chemistry at St. Edward’s University. The general focus of his research involves the use of molecular modeling to design structure-activity probes for the purpose of elucidating enzymatic activity. Recent targets have included HIV-1 integrase, the c-Kit and src-abl proteins associated with tumor development and certain leukemias, and the metalloproteinases. Dr. Healy’s group has also developed in silico characterizations of the mechanism of action for the heat shock response associated with the Mtb alpha-crystallin protein, the heat shock response of Escherichia coli, and the observed suppression of spinocerebellar ataxia and superoxidxe dismutase (SOD1) aggregation by human alphaB-crystallin, He received his doctorate in Chemistry from UT–Austin.
