Biography
Robert M. Stroud is a Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UCSF. He obtained his BA, MA at Cambridge University, and his PhD in J.D. Bernal’s laboratory at London University where he programmed non-centrosymmetric direct methods to determine structure of the nucleoside antibiotic tubercidin, and vitamins. He was postdoctoral with R. E. Dickerson where he determined the first structure of trypsin and trypsinogen. He became associate professor of chemistry at Caltech, and moved to UCSF as the founding member of the Macromolecular Structure Group (msg.ucsf.edu). He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences USA, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine (UK). Stroud’s research focuses on the mechanisms of transmembrane transporters, receptors and channels, and on the mechanisms of protein-RNA recognition and chemistry, at the level of atomic structure, mechanisms, inhibition, and structure-based drug discovery.
