Dr. Marilena Hall received her B.S. in Chemistry in 1992 from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She then earned her Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology (NSERC Fellowship) where she worked in the laboratory of Dr. Jacqueline K. Barton. Her thesis involved the design of a synthetic deoxyribonuclease using a chimera of a DNA-binding rhodium complex and a short Zn2+ -coordinating peptide.
From 1998-2000, Dr. Hall carried out post-doctoral research at New England Biolabs in Beverly, MA creating an artificial bifunctional intein capable of both protein splicing and homing endonuclease activity. During her post-doc, she was also an adjunct professor at Massasoit Community College, teaching general chemistry from 1999-2000. Professor Hall joined the Stonehill Department of Chemistry in the Fall of 2000.
