Dr. Sholders is Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the College of Natural Sciences at Colorado State University. His degrees include

B.S. in Chemistry - University of Northern Colorado
M.S. in Biochemistry - Colorado State University
Ph.D. in Biochemistry - Colorado State University

His dissertation work led to the discovery of the translocation mechanism for the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase responsible for replicating picornaviral genomes. This discovery may one day lead to the development of small molecule drug’s capable of treating infections caused by West Nile and Coxsaccie virus.
