Biochemistry Seminar
Thursday, January 26, 2006
Dr. C. Robert Matthews
University of Massachusetts Medical School
"Sequence vs. Topology in the Control of TIM Barrel Folding Reactions"
68-181
NOON
Hosted by Dr. Jonathan King

Dr. Matthews graduated from the University of 
Minnesota and received his PhD from Stanford 
University. He is currently the principal 
investigator for a range of research projects 
funded through the National Institutes of Health 
and National Science Foundation in the areas of 
enzyme structure and function and peptide and 
protein folding. His investigations are 
particularly focused on how single amino acids 
affect protein conformation - an area of great 
potential for drug discovery and drug design. Dr. 
Matthews is the author of nearly 100 scientific 
publications. He also serves on the editorial 
boards of the Journal of Protein Engineering and 
the Biophysical Journal, is the associate editor 
of the Journal of Molecular Biology and, in 1995, 
served as the co-chair of the Protein Society's 
Ninth International Symposium held in Boston. Dr. 
Matthews is currently Professor and Chair of 
Biochemistry & Molecular Pharmacology at the 
University of Massachusetts Medical School.
