Dr. Tabengwa joined Dr. Randall Davis’ laboratory July 1, 2010 as an Assistant Professor with a strong scientific background to help establish and lead the management of a new facility on campus termed the Multidisciplinary Molecular Interaction Core (MMIC). This facility supports an NIH-funded Biacore T200 instrument that enables the characterization of protein-protein and other biomolecular interactions by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. She has led in the establishment of this facility and instrumentation which has quickly grown under her management. She currently manages and operates the instrument, trains and educates new and established users, and analyzes data generated from this valuable resource for a current user base of eight different laboratories including Dr. Davis’.
