When Dr. Komatsu discovered his passion for science and skill in chemistry, he attended the College of William and Mary and majored in chemistry with a focus in organic/polymer chemistry. It was here that his passion for research was formed under Dr. David Kranbuehl and wrote his honors thesis on the properties and hydrolysis kinetics of polyamide-11/graphene oxide composites in offshore oil risers. After defending his honors thesis, he was accepted to the Texas A&M Chemistry PhD program and studied under Dr. Karen Wooley. It was here that Chris pursued a more mild method for polyurethane synthesis, natural product-based polycarbonates, and a capsaicinoid antibiofouling polyurethane coating for marine vessels. Chris defended his dissertation successfully in April of 2020. Chris was hired as teaching faculty for two semesters until the Spring of 2021 when Chris was hired as an Analytical Chemist here at MDx BioAnalytical Laboratory, Inc. Chris is now our Quality Control (QC) manager and Senior Analytical Chemist for our cGMP assays and for various R&D projects under the guidance of Dr. White
