Biography

Mary Schuler is a Professor at the University of Illinois, working primarily in the field of Molecular and Cellular Biology. With a PhD in Biochemistry from Cornell University, she has dedicated her research to understanding the biochemical and molecular aspects of P450 monooxygenases, which play critical roles in plant metabolism. Her work involves investigating the structure and function of these enzymes and their implications in drug discovery, enzymology, and genomics, particularly focusing on the metabolic pathways of various plants and insects. Schuler's research incorporates advanced computational modeling to predict enzyme behavior and optimize expression systems for functional studies. She has explored the influence of genetic variability and environmental factors on enzyme catalytic activities, leading to significant insights into the evolutionary pressures shaping P450 gene families. In addition to her laboratory investigations, Schuler has taught courses in Genetics and Disease, and she is involved with the Department of Plant Biology and the Institute for Genomic Biology at her university.
