Robert A. Welch
Distinguished University Chair in Chemistry,
Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas

Dr. Robert Fox,
Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Galveston, TX
Dr. Yousif
Shamoo, Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Cell
Biology, Rice University, Houston, TX
Born 1961; B.S. in Biology Carnegie-Mellon University
1983; Ph.D., Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale
University (1989); Post-Doctoral Fellow Yale University, Department of
Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Swebilius Cancer Research
Fellowship 1989-1991; Associate Research Scientist with the laboratory
of Dr. Thomas A. Steitz, Yale University, 1992-1997; joined Rice
University Faculty in Biochemistry and Cell Biology 1998; Ralph E.
Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award 2000. Dr. Shamoo’s postdoctoral
work included the first structure determination of a DNA replication
fork single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) complexed to DNA. In
addition, he has determined the structures of the RNA binding domain
of the human heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A1, DNA polymerase DNA
editing complex of bacteriophage RB69 and the RB69 sliding clamp
processivity factor. Since moving to Rice University in 1998 the Dr.
Shamoo’s lab has extended its studies into the field of molecular
evolution while continuing to study the atomic basis for
protein-nucleic acid recognition in DNA replication, recombination and
repair.
Dr. Stephen Sprang, Professor,
John W. and Rhonda K. Pate Professorship in Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center, Dallas, TX
Our laboratory investigates signal transduction
mechanisms at the molecular level. We use crystallographic methods
and other physical techniques to study G-proteins and their
effectors and regulators, and other signaling molecules
