Speaker Topic
Peroxynitrite-mediated Oxidation of Nitrosylhemoglobin: a Pathway for NO Release from HbNO?

Dr. Herold completed her undergraduate studies in chemistry in 1989 and earned her doctorate in Natural Sciences in 1993 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich, Switzerland. Between 1990 and 1993 she was a laboratory instructor for the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at ETH and has been a lecturer at ETH since 1999, where she is the principal advisor of three graduate students. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at MIT in 1996. Dr. Herold has memberships with both the New Swiss Chemical Society and the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. She served as president of the Chemical Society of Zürich from 2000-2001 and Vice President of the Chemical Society of Zürich from 1999-2000.


Dr. Herold’s main areas of research currently include kinetic and mechanistic studies of the reactions of nitrogen monoxide, peroxynitrite, and nitrite with hemoproteins such as hemoglobin, myoglobin, neuroglobin, and leghemoglobin. She has published over 30 papers and presented more than 80 invited lectures.
