Jeffrey N. Agar



Jeffrey N. Agar is an assistant professor of chemistry at Brandeis University.

Agar's specialties are bioinorganic chemistry, namely iron-sulfur clusters in metalloproteins, and mass spectrometry. He currently focuses on high-resolution mass spectrometry of post-translational modifications in proteins, trying to better understand neurodegenerative diseases, especially ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).

Aside from formal research, Agar develops and teaches classes in bioinorganic chemistry and mass spectrometry at Brandeis, bringing an uncanny enthusiasm rarely seen in college science classrooms.

A native of Flint, Michigan, Agar has a B.S. from University of Michigan and a Ph.D. from University of Georgia. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at McGill University.
