Dr. Shannon L Servoss

Dr. Shannon Servoss received her bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Michigan, where she worked on the development of chip-based PCR in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Burns. Her graduate work was completed at Northwestern University under the advisement of Drs. Annelise Barron and Mark Johnson. Her dissertaion title was Helical Peptoid Mimics of Lung Surfactant Protein B for Use in a Biomimetic Lung Surfactant Replacement for the Treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome. After receiving her Ph.D., Shannon completed a postdoctoral position at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory working with Drs. Richard Zangar and Cheryl Baird. Here she worked on ultilizing single chain anitbody fragments for ELISA microarray. Shannon joined the faculty at University of Arkansas in 2007, where she is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering. Her research group focuses on the design and characterization of peptoids for biomedical applications.
