New Investigator Is Catalyzing Insights into Enzymes

Biochemist Nadine Samara, PhD, recently earned tenure-track status at NIDCR through the prestigious NIH Stadtman Investigators and NIH Distinguished Scholars programs. Samara is studying the structure and function of a family of enzymes called glycosyltransferases, which are key to microbial balance in the mouth and could be promising targets for treating oral microbial infections.
