Safiyyah Forbes, Ph.D.

Safiyyah Forbes, Ph.D., earned her undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Long Island University, and her Ph.D. in Supramolecular Chemistry from Kansas State University. Her graduate research was focused on fine-tuning the physiochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the design and synthesis of anticancer drug molecules. Safiyyah pursued her postdoctoral training at University of Notre Dame and University of Kansas where she had the opportunity to apply her synthetic knowledge in design and synthesis of imaging probes that can selectively discriminate dead and dying cells from healthy cells. She developed fluorescent calcium sensors and a series of peptides, which inhibit cytochrome C. She is an enthusiastic educator with a strong commitment in providing culturally relevant pedagogy in a stimulating and safe learning environment.
