Kristi Burns’s Expertise Summary of Qualifications • Highly motivated, creative, and versatile Ph.D. biochemist with experience in protein chemistry, enzyme kinetics, and chromatography for the identification and purification of small molecules, peptides, and proteins. Gifted at analyzing complex problems, identifying strategies, and finding innovative solutions. Proven ability to collaborate with multiple departments and thrive in a multi-disciplinary environment. • Attained excellent results on five separate thesis projects and collaborated on several other multi-disciplinary projects within the plant science, polymer science, and pharmacology departments. To date, this has led to seven pier reviewed publications, four of which are first author. Selected Accomplishments • Achieved the in vitro biocatalytic production of the biopolymer PHB using multiple isolated enzymes and designed a computer model to analyze the enzyme kinetics of this system. Developed HPLC methodology which resolved multiple small molecules in 50% less time. Optimized C. necator bacterial fermentations, biopolymer extractions and purifications. • Collaborated with the pharmacology department to develop and analyze a novel class of anti-inflammatory compounds using ELISA screening techniques with isolated enzymes and whole blood. • Determined the first structural characterization of iso-CoA with 1D and 2D NMR and HPLC-MS/MS. Created a novel regioselective synthesis of iso-CoA and identified the first enzymes to catalyze acyl-transfer reactions with this molecule. • Instrumental in establishing the protective effects of novel organoselenide-antioxidants against DNA damage. • Trained colleagues in a multi-departmental project to isolate novel plant growth peptides, proteins and small molecules using HPLC, HPLC-MS/MS, and FPLC. Specialties: HPLC, FPLC, chromatography, enzyme kinetics, thermodynamics, biocatalysis, NMR, IR, UV-Vis, TLC, chemical synthesis, protein chemistry, ELISA, cell culture, fermentations
