Dr. Arterburn's Research:

Dr. Arterburn, received the Ph.D in Chemistry from the University of Arizona, and was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University of Washington. He is currently Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry NMSU, and PI of the NIH NCRR funded New Mexico IDeA Network for Biomedical Research, a statewide network that focuses on investigations of biomolecule structure and activity, cell signaling pathways, and pathogens. Dr. Arterburn is a member of the Women's Cancers program at the UNM Cancer Center, and co-leader with Dr. T. Oprea of the Chemistry sub-group of the UNM NIH Roadmap Molecular Libraries Screening Center. As an internationally known organic chemist, his research program involves the design and synthesis of receptor-targeted ligands and antiviral drugs, and participates in ongoing collaborative interdisciplinary research projects with investigators from the UNM College of Pharmacy, UNM School of Medicine, Los Alamos National Laboratory, U. Illinois, and the Southern Research Institute. His expertise includes synthesis of estradiol derivatives with fluorescent and radionuclide labels, nucleosides, carbohydrates, amino acids, substituted aromatic compounds and heterocycles. He has developed methodology for metal-mediated carbon-nitrogen and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions for the synthesis of novel probes and biologically active molecular scaffolds. His research program, described in 35 publications to date, has been supported by NIH NIGMS, NIAID, DOE, ACS-PRF, USAMRAA, and the USAMRC Breast Cancer Research Program.
