Cooper Kimbrough joined the Cundari Group at UNT Chemistry after completing his Bachelor's degree at Texas A&M, College Station, where he had done research under the supervision of Prof. Kim Dunbar.
At UNT, Cooper engaged in computational inorganic chemistry research. His work involved the modeling of homogeneous catalysts for methane activation. He developed his own research thrust in the modeling of transition metal complexes with potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This work was published in ACS Omega in 2025. Dr. Kimbrough also conducted research in novel metal complexes that target beta-amyloid proteins.
Dr. Kimbrough has officially accepted a position for a postdoctoral research fellowship that is a joint affiliation with Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He is very excited for this next step getting to work on medicinal chemistry and immunology!
