Nicholas J. Greco, having earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Stonehill College (Easton, MA) in 2002, joined the laboratory of Professor Yitzhak Tor at the University of California, San Diego. In 2008, he earned his Ph.D. for his work on the design, synthesis, and incorporation of novel fluorescent nucleosides. After a postdoctoral stay at Boston College in the laboratory of Professor Larry W. McLaughlin, he moved to Western Connecticut State University where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. His main research interests include novel nucleosides and their effect on the structure and function of biological systems.
