Prof. (Leggy) Alexander Arnold [arnold2@uwm.edu]
I enjoy the daily multi-tasking as a professor, which includes the supervision of research, teaching, and the many other little things that brighten my day at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My passion is the discovery of new biological active compounds and the identification of their mode of action. The interplay between small molecules and proteins is complicated and a fascinating world of possibilities.
