Marily Lantz completed her undergraduate studies at Notre
Dame College of Ohio, majoring in both biology and chemistry.
She was able to combine both disciplines in her graduate studies
at Case Western Reserve University, where she earned her Ph.
D. in chemistry. Her research, under the leadership of Dr. Vernon
E. Anderson, added credible evidence to the hypothesis that an
electric field in the active site of the enzyme crotonase is
responsible for catalytic activity. Crotonase is an enzyme vital
to fatty acid metabolism.
Upon completion of her graduate work, she accepted a position
in Okaloosa-Walton Community College in the Florida Panhandle.
After several winters living on the banks of Lake Erie, it was
by design, not chance, that she moved to a sunnier climate. The
fact that our Community College system is known to be one of
the strongest in the nation led her to the state of Florida and
to PCC.
