Patricia Hahn Presents Chemistry Research

2017 Oct 10

Patricia Hahn, a senior Biochemistry major from Plano, Texas, was one of ten University of Dallas students to present research to a panel of university chemistry professors.

Hahn's research, "Investigation of Selective Reactive Oxygen Species Quenching Ability of a Novel Self-Cyclizing Antioxidant and its Derivatives," examined an antioxidant that prevents cellular damage. Hahn completed her research at the University of Cincinnati during the summer of 2017.

Undergraduate research is a requirement for the university's B.S. degrees in both chemistry and biochemistry; it is most frequently completed during the summer after a student's junior year either at the University of Dallas in Irving or another research institution.
