Dr. Benedetta Sampoli Benitez joined the Faculty at Marymount Manhattan College in the Fall of 2000. After graduating with honors in Chemistry at the University of Florence, Italy, where she is from, she went on to the University of California, San Diego for her Ph.D. While at UCSD, her main areas of research were Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology. Upon completion of her graduate studies in 1999, she worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as a research fellow. Her current research interests are in the area of computational biology. In particular, she investigates the fidelity mechanisms of DNA polymerases using molecular dynamics simulations. To support her research, she has active collaborations with scientists at NYU, Scripps Research Institute and UCSD. Her research students have been presenting their work at regional and national research conferences often earning top honors.
At Marymount Manhattan College, Dr. Sampoli Benitez teaches a variety of chemistry courses for Biology majors including the capstone Biochemistry course. She has also developed numerous courses for the General Education such as Drugs and the Brain and Introduction to Forensic Science.
