Benjamin May

OverviewAI-generated summary

Benjamin May studies the kinetic characterization and inhibitor sensitivity of alternative oxidase (AOX) enzymes, particularly in pathogenic fungi like Candida albicans and Candida auris. His work involves expressing recombinant AOX proteins in systems such as self-assembled proteoliposomes to investigate enzyme function. May has also published research on genetic factors influencing cellular function, specifically examining rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HELB gene and their impact on interactions with RPA and cellular processes. His research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Maroof K. Zafar, Eric J. Enemark, Alicia K. Byrd, and Matthew D. Thompson, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.

May's scholarly contributions are reflected in his h-index of 9 and 297 total citations across 23 publications. He has also received federal funding, including a $75,964 award from the NIH/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for a project investigating mortality from chronic illnesses in poultry and non-poultry workers. May maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate his research findings.
