She was a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University before joining Abbott Laboratories as a Research Scientist in the Pharmaceutical Products Discovery Group. In 1992, Dr. Guinn joined the faculty at Regis University, in Denver, Colorado, as Clare Boothe Luce Professor of chemistry, where she taught courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and the general, organic, and bio chemistry course for nursing and allied health majors. In 2008, she joined the chemistry department at The College of New Rochelle in New York where she teaches organic chemistry, biochemistry, and the one-semester GOB course for nursing students. She has published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.She has two adult sons, Charles and Scott, who also assisted in the revision of the 2nd and 3rd editions. She currently resides in Nyack, New York with her dog, Puck, where she enjoys kayaking on the Hudson river in her spare time.

The essential chemistry for health careers and everyday life.
Guinn’s Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry uses health and medicine as the framework for learning the fundamentals of chemistry in this student-centered one-semester text. The newly revised 3rd edition focuses on core concepts and necessary math skills, and features a revamped organization to align with traditional course organization and shorter, more condensed chapters. Easily digestible content and medical applications help reduce student anxiety and make chemistry meaningful for students preparing for future careers in nursing and other allied health professions. Available within the Achieve platform, the Guinn e-textbook is supported with a variety of assessment options and study tools designed to help students focus and understand the relevance of chemistry through videos, animations and case studies.Success Stories
