Zymes is pleased to announce that Danielle Nihan was named a Zymes Graduate Research Fellow at the University of California’s Department of Chemistry in Santa Barbara.

The research involves the first syntheses of new quinone-modified analogs of coenzyme Q10. Nihan is also investigating a potential new drug delivery system for transporting anti-tumor agents, nucleosides, and other drugs for the treatment of various diseases.
