A New Beginning in Structural Biology

The University of Houston has been very fortunate to recruit a number of top scientists in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry and the Department of Chemistry. First, Dr. Scott Gilberston (home page

He has both a large transgenetic activity with mice that are key to studying heart disease and also has developed the UH's the Center for Molecular Medicine and Experimental Therapeutic. To complete the hat-trick, the UH brought Dr Bob Fox from the UTMB and his expertise in X-ray crystallography.
