Appalachian State University, Boone, NC, USA
The Reddish lab at Appalachian State focuses on studying cytochrome P450 enzymes. Our home department is the Department of Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences. The majority of our work is performed by a talented group of undergraduate research students with interests in chemistry and biology. Through our research activities, we seek to achieve two major goals:
Provide a high-level research experience for training students to learn how biochemistry research is conducted, to gain experience with research-grade instrumentation, and to examine where their own professional interests in research may lie.
Uncover new facets of how cytochrome P450 enzymes function with hopes that our discoveries can lead to advances in human health and novel catalyst design.
We hope that that through exploring this website, you can learn more about our work. We are always open to new collaborations and ideas. Please feel free to reach out to us or make a point of saying "Hi!" at an upcoming scientific meeting.

Two members of the lab graduated with the Bachelor's Degrees from Appalachian State today (12/16/2022). Zach Davis and Mitch Donadieu have been fantastic additions to the lab. They have each been essential leaders in the lab helping with both their own projects and training younger students. Zach will be staying on in the lab for several months as a research technician. Mitch will continue his clinical training with EMS in the high country.
Zach Davis and Mitch Donadieu attended the 42nd Midwest Enzyme Chemistry Conference on October 15th, 2022 to present their poster "Optimizing Expression and Experimental Functionality of Cytochrome P450 27A1".

The lab was awarded a NIH R35 ESI grant from the NIGMS. See our funding page for more details (9/1/2022).
Dr. Reddish attended the 2022 International Conference on Cytochrome P450 in Washington D.C. July 17-21, 2022. He presented a poster titled "Interactions of Human P450 27A1 with Adrenodoxin".
Four members of the lab graduated with the Bachelor's Degrees from Appalachian State today (5/7/2022). We are proud of all the hard work they have done to earn their degrees, and we look forward to the work they will do as they move on. Noah Arnold will be starting a PhD program in Microbiology at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Jackson Bartholomew-Schoch will be starting a PhD program in Chemistry at the University of Virginia. Hayden Campbell will be starting his industry career at Sagent Pharmaceuticals. Ethan Harris will be starting a PhD program in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech.
