Sean Culbertson

Sean just finished working as a postdoc in the Porter Group, and has moved on to work for Keith Ingold at the Canadian National Research Council in Ottawa. (sean.culbertson@nrc.ca).

Sean was a member of the Lipid Peroxidation Group and his thesis was Investigation of Initiation and Antioxidant Defense Mechanisms in Lipid Peroxidation of Low-Density Lipoproteins: Design and Application of Novel Unsymmetrical Azo Initiators.

Sean completed his work in Spring 2001.
