David S. Eisenberg (born 15 March 1939[citation needed]) is an American biochemist and biophysicist best known for his contributions to structural biology and computational molecular biology. He has been a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles since the early 1970s and was director of the UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics & Proteomics, as well as a member of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Education
[edit]Eisenberg attended Harvard University and graduated in 1961 with an A.B. in Biochemical Sciences. He went on to the University of Oxford, where he was awarded a D.Phil in 1965[16] for research supervised by Charles Coulson.
Research
[edit]Eisenberg's current research focuses on the structural biology of amyloidogenic proteins, while his computational efforts largely center on the development of bioinformatic/proteomic methodologies for elucidation and analysis of protein interaction networks. His research group hosts the Database of Interacting Proteins.[17]
Career
[edit]- Postdoctoral research, Princeton University (1964–1966; with Walter Kauzmann)
- Postdoctoral research, California Institute of Technology (1966–1969; with Richard E. Dickerson)
- Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, UCLA, USA (1969–Present)
- Professor, Department of Biological Chemistry, UCLA Medical School
- Director, UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics & Proteomics (1993–2014)
- Member, California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), UCLA
- Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (2001–Present)
Awards
[edit]He was the recipient of Harvey Prize (Human Health) 2008 in recognition of his contributions in unfolding the structure of amyloid fibrils. The award was presented to him at a ceremony that took place on March 23, 2009 at the Technion. This recently recognized protein state provides opportunities to understand cells in health and disease.[18]
