Biography
Dr. Eriks Rozners is working as Professor of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry at Binghamton University. He has done Degree in Chemical Engineering (equivalent of B.S.) with honors and Doctor of Chemistry (equivalent of Ph.D.) from Riga Technical University, Latvia. His Research interests are in the chemistry and biochemistry of nucleic acids with a focus on elucidation of RNA’s structure and function. The research philosophy is to use organic chemistry as the enabling discipline to create unique model systems and tools for fundamental studies and practical applications in nucleic acid biochemistry, biophysics and biomedicine.
