About David Reetz

My name is David Reetz, and I am an Senior in Biological Engineering from Boise, Idaho. I'm doing research in Dr. Paul Rowley's lab and working with Dr. Marty Yttreberg on resolving the mode of action of Saccharomyces killer toxins. I have interests in molecular modeling, proteinaceous drug design, and finding new methods to resolve protein functions. One day I hope to be a leading figure in the Human Proteome and/or Interactome Project.
