Biography
Dr. Keck joined the faculty at Keuka college in 2008 after 13 years teaching at Emporia State University (Kansas). He teaches chemistry and biochemistry, and has also taught analytical chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
His primary area of expertise is nucleic acids biochemistry. He loves teaching, and he also loves working with students on research projects. He and his students are presently collaborating with colleagues at RIT to design and evaluate compounds that have potential as photodynamic therapy agents.
