Professor Tadhg Begley received his B.Sc. from National University of Ireland in 1977 and his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (P. Dervan) in 1982. He carried out postdoctoral studies at the University of Geneva (W. Oppolzer) and at MIT (C. Walsh) before joining the Cornell Faculty in 1986. In June 2009, he joined Texas A&M University, chemistry Department as the Barton Professor of Chemistry.
Professor Begley’s research is focused on the mechanistic enzymology of complex organic transformations, particularly those found on the vitamin biosynthetic pathways. His research group uses the principles and techniques of organic chemistry to study complex organic transformations found in vitamin biosynthetic pathways. Begley group is currently working on the biosynthesis of NAD, menaquinone, molybdopterin, thiamin, and pyridoxal phosphate. |
