Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joseph Chihade's research focuses on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, particularly human mitochondrial variants. His work investigates the stability and activity of these enzymes, including pathogenic mutations. Chihade also explores methods for expressing these enzymes, specifically helminth and human mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, in bacterial systems. His publications include work on extending coupled assays to measure enzyme activity and bacterial expression of unstable mutants. Chihade has a h-index of 11, with 33 total publications and 381 total citations. He has collaborated with J. Sharman Mathew and Jim A. Bartel at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
