Dr. Cohen loves to teach Chemistry and Biochemistry. Her long-term goal is to assist in the development of future generations of scientists, medical professionals, and teachers. Dr. Cohen has been teaching Chemistry and Biochemistry for over 15 years. Her other interest is scientific research which has led her to study many topics including protein structure determination, HIV-1 vaccine development, and the role of tau in the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
