Norbert Reich
Distinguished Professor
Chemistry
Norbert Reich is interested in the study of enzyme function, primarily at the levels of catalytic and specificity mechanisms, with a long term goal of developing enzyme inhibitors with potential therapeutic application. The current focus is on both bacterial and mammalian enzymes involved in the epigenetic process of DNA methylation and on telomerase. He also works on the development of new methods and technologies to investigate cell-biological, biochemical and biomedical questions.
