Education: Ph.D. University of Virginia, 1978 (Biochemistry) Research Interests: The effect of lipids on the structure and function of membrane proteins. Specifically, the structure of the G-protein receptor, rhodopsin, its interaction with lipids and the role which the lipid bilayer composition plays in modulating the biochemistry of visual signal transduction.
