Dr. Neville Forlemu
Associate Professor of Chemistry, Georgia Gwinnett College
In 2012, Dr. Forlemu joined the faculty at Georgia Gwinnett College, where he presently serves as a part time faculty mentor and Associate Professor of Chemistry. His research interests include molecular modeling and development of novel antimalarial therapies (chloroquine mimetics and fluorinated sulfonamides), molecular dynamics simulations of the aggregation of cyclic peptides with lipid bilayers. Neville Forlemu was born in 1980, in Kumba, Southwest Region of Cameroon. In 2001 he received his BSc. In Biochemistry, then spent two years as an entrepreneur running a chemical and provision store. In 2009 he obtained his doctoral degree under the direction of Professor Kathryn Thomasson (UND) on studying macromolecular functional complexes using Brownian dynamics simulations. He then spent a year at Mount Sinai School of medicine as a post-doctoral fellow under the direction of professor Martha Filizola on structural study of the Serotonin-Metabotropic Receptor complex.
