Stephanie Chong-Macias

Stephanie Chong-Macias is the Chemistry and Biochemistry department's Instrumentation Specialist. Along with maintaining our instrumentation and training new users, Stephanie also teaches some of our courses including chemical principles, organic chemistry, and instrumental analysis labs. As a UIW alumna, her passion is to help fellow cardinals succeed not only in class but in their future careers.

Although formally trained in the drug delivery field for cancer therapy, Stephanie's research interests cover several topics within the interface of chemistry and biology with students generally choosing their project of  choice based on their own interests. This approach to research is meant to foster student curiosity and creativity in the sciences. Current project ideas being pursued are designing a new migraine medication and developing new course materials for the organic laboratory class.
