Caroline Buchholz

graduate student 

Biography

Caroline grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota before earning her B.S. in Chemistry at Iowa State University in 2018. While at Iowa State she worked in a nanomaterials and catalysis lab with Dr. Huang before switching to organic synthesis of photocages in the lab of Dr. Winter. Additionally, she spent at summer at the University of Minnesota doing research in the pharmacology department on kinase allosteric mechanisms with Dr. Levinson. After coming back to the University of Minnesota for graduate school she joined the Pomerantz lab. Caroline studies the epigenetic protein BPTF, working on bromodomain probe development and PHD finger fragment screening. For fun, she likes to read and spend time at the lake.
