About NRL Rojas
About me, and why I have a web site…
I am a full time faculty member at the Ateneo de Manila University, and I’ve been once since July 1997. I also was a teaching assistant during SY 1990-91. I’ve always been with the Department of Chemistry, although lately I’ve been dividing my time between my home there and the new Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health, where I teach biochemistry.
My research interests include
- chemical transformations of glycosides and polysaccharides (such as carrageenan) using enzymes and organisms
- the interaction of proteins with cofactors,drugs, and other ligands
- bioinformatics, specifically for proteins
A partial educational history:
- Ph.D., 1997, and M.A., 1993, Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA. Dissertation: De novo heme proteins from designed combinatorial libraries. Adviser: Professor Michael H. Hecht
- B.S. Chemistry, magna cum laude ,1990, Ateneo de Manila University.
- Valedictorian, Philippine Science HighSchool, 1986.
- Participant, First ChemStart at the Ateneo with Fr. William Schmitt, 1984.
- Valedictorian, Ateneo Junior Summer Seminar, 1985.
- Salutatorian, Maryknoll College Grade School, 1982.

good evening ms. rojas!
this is melody y. robato a student from your sci10-DD class. i was the one who inquired about ray bradbury being included in the bonus orals. i found two of his works that may be applicable to the orals (hopefully) one would be “quicker than the eye” and the other one being “no news or what killed the dog?”
i hope that these works can be considered. if you want i can bring the novel to you on tuesday to let you read them as they are short stories.
please and thank you!
