Jonathan McMurry, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Kennesaw State University. Dr. McMurry is an AREA grant awardee investigating the assembly of the bacterial flagellum in Gram-negative bacteria. He also has a growing effort to apply optical biosensor technology to analyze dynamic protein-protein interactions.
