OverviewAI-generated summary
Michelle Childress's research has investigated juvenile hormone biosynthesis in moths, specifically focusing on the synthesis and evaluation of farnesol homologs as alternate substrates for farnesol oxidase. This work also involved the development of an <i>in vitro</i> assay for monitoring prenyl transferase activity in lepidopteran corpora allata.
In addition to this biochemical research, Childress has been involved in educational initiatives. She co-led a National Science Foundation project focused on developing an undergraduate engineering track designed to enhance students' readiness for design-oriented occupations through partnerships with regional industries. This project received $400,000 in funding.
Childress's scholarly output includes three publications with a total of 27 citations, and her h-index is 3. She has also contributed to pedagogical research, exploring the use of faculty-developed documentary-style films to communicate authentic chemistry research to high school students.
