Biography

Jeffrey Atkinson is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Brock University. His research focuses on Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Protein-Membrane Interactions, with an emphasis on the role of Vitamin E in biological systems. He has developed fluorescent forms of tocopherol to investigate intracellular locations and the mechanisms of tocopherol transfer protein (TTP). Atkinson has synthesized various lipid-based probes and studied their interactions with phospholipid membranes. His recent work includes the development of assays to evaluate the effects of tocopherol on neuronal health and elucidate the mechanisms behind lipid transfer proteins and their roles in cellular processes.
