In 2000, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his research focuses on fundamental and applied studies of nucleic acids. This includes investigations of RNA folding and catalysis as well as studies of DNA as a catalyst, conformational constraint and sensor.
Prof Hergenrother received his B.S. in chemistry from the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1994. He went on to the University of Texas at Austin, where he received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1999 working with Stephen F Martin. After a postdoctoral stint with Stuart L Schreiber at Harvard University, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001. His research is focused on using small molecules to identify novel targets for the treatment of cancer, neurodegeneration and drug-resistant bacteria.
