Arthur D. Tinoco is currently a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras. He obtained a Ph.D. in Bioinorganic Chemistry from Yale University (2002–2007). He received postdoctoral training at Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (2008–2012). His current project consists of bioinspired drug design strategies for the treatment of cancer and diabetes. He also studies the nonferric transport of metals by serum transferrin and how this protein works in concert with small molecules to regulate the bioactive properties of metals.
