Vincent Dimayuga

Lab:

Dr. John Papaconstantinou

In BMB since (year):

2003

Biographical Information:

• Undergraduate institution:
  Texas State University in San Marcos
• Undergraduate degree:
  Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Research interests:

My research interests are focused on the understanding of the molecular and mechanistic basis of the biological processes of aging at the atomic level. I use the latest mass spectrometry methodologies complemented by other biochemical techniques to characterize the structural and functional changes to proteins caused by age-associated post translational oxidative modifications and their interactions.

Random facts about me:

I enjoy mentoring students at Galveston Ball High School on their science fair projects; co-teaching a course in Toxicology at Texas A&M University at Galveston; and presenting my research at scientific conferences. I have the privilege of serving in the US Army Corps of Engineers Reserves with the rank of Captain and was a US Army Civil Affairs Officer in Baghdad in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2005 to 2006.
