OverviewAI-generated summary

Benjamin May's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying disease and human health. His work has investigated the kinetic characterization and inhibitor sensitivity of enzymes in microbial pathogens, such as *Candida albicans* and *Candida auris*. He has also studied the functional consequences of genetic variations, specifically rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes like HELB, examining their interference with protein interactions and cellular functions.

His funded work includes a grant from the NIH/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for a project examining mortality from chronic illnesses in poultry and non-poultry workers. May collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Maroof Zafar, Eric J. Enemark, and Kirk L. West, and has co-authored publications with Matthew D. Thompson of Lyon College.

With a career h-index of 9 and 23 total publications, May has been recently active in research. His scholarly output spans topics in molecular biology, genetics, and occupational health.
