Department Chair

Professor Truss' professional area of interest is Medicinal Biochemistry. As such, she is interested in the understanding how proteins interact and how those interactions can be exploited in drug design. Currently the main focus in the lab is understanding the mechanisms underlying activity of nitric oxide synthases. In particular her work has been focused on understanding the role that nitric oxide synthase plays in Alzheimer's disease. She is a member of the American Chemical Society and of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She is on the local advisory board of the ACS Women's Commission, a platform she uses to push forth her agenda of equalizing science education for young girls, particularly underrepresented girls from K-12th grades. Her personal interests include black and white photography, watching CSI, going bowling, watching baseball (preferably live), and being at home with her family.
