Tamara P. Kondratyuk, Ph.D.
Research Scientist, Laboratory Manager
Dr. Kondratyuk received her Ph.D. from Moscow State University in 1992 with postdoctoral work in Germany prior to serving as a Senior Scientist at the Institute of Biochemistry Academy of Science, Kiev. Her doctoral degree was in medicinal chemistry and molecular biology. Prior to accepting a position at UHH, she served as Research Scientist at Purdue University, first in the Department of Biochemistry, and then in School of Veterinary Medicine and College of Pharmacy. With many years of laboratory experience, Dr. Kondratyuk will manage to apply the scientific methods as integral to good teaching. She has a rare combination of effective organization skills along with uncommon talent as a problem solver. She is knowledgeable about the topics we teach and should utilize the most current and effective laboratory instructional techniques to manage the laboratory exercises that will be conducted by pharmacy students.
