#8 - Dr. Kristopher J. Koudelka

Dr. Kristopher Koudelka joined PLNU in 2014 after having taught for several years in his home state of Wisconsin. His science interests lie at the molecular level. By giving students a firm foundation in how chemical structure gives a molecule function and reactivity, they have the basis to understand any biological system. Koudelka’s research centers on the chemical modification of plant and bacteria viruses for use as drug delivery and imaging vehicles. His students specifically engineer viral nanoparticles (VNPs) to efficiently and specifically transport drugs to only sites of disease (i.e., cancer). Koudelka also creates online content for publishers as a way to further engage students in novel ways. He currently serves a Professor of Biology and Associate Dean of STEM.
