Stephen G. Sligar received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois in 1975. Dr. Sligar served on the faculty in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University and returned to the University of Illinois in 1982 where he now holds the I. C. Gunsalus endowed chair in Biochemistry and is Director of the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology. He is also a faculty member inof the Department of Chemistry, the Center for Biophysics and Computational Biology and the College of Medicine. Dr. Sligar holds affiliate appointments in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and the Institute for Genome Biology on the Illinois campus. He is a Fellow of the Biophysical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Awards include a Fulbright Research Scholarship, Senior Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the Bert L. and Kuggie Vallee Visiting Professorship in Inorganic Chemistry at Oxford. He is also a Fellow in the Jerome Karle Nobel Laureate World Innovation Foundation. Dr. Sligar's research is supported by a Merit Award from the National Institutes of Health, as well as grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the Human Frontiers Program. Research centers on understanding the structure and mechanistic function of metalloenzymes and membrane bound receptors and transporters. |
