Christine D. Keating is an American scientist who is the Shapiro Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University. Her research involves colloid and interface chemistry for biology and materials science.
Early life and education
Keating studied biology and chemistry at Saint Francis University. [1] She moved to Pennsylvania State University for her doctorate. She was made a postdoctoral researcher in Penn State in 1997.[ citation needed]
Research and career
In 1999, Keating became assistant professor and she was promoted to associate professor in 2007.[ citation needed] Keating specializes in colloids and interfaces in chemistry, materials and biology. [2] She builds artificial cells and uses liquid-liquid phase separation and molecular self-assembly. [3] She is interested in the structure-function properties of biomolecular materials. Her research looks to inform the design of pharmaceuticals and bioinspired materials. [4]
Keating is interested in the assembly of nonbiological materials (e.g. metallic nanospheres and nanowires). Organization in these systems arises due to the inter- and intra-particle interactions. Control of molecular packing at the nano- and micro-scale can impart new functionalities to materials, which can be used in sensors and optoelectronic components. [4]
