Doug B

Biography

Doug Barrick has been on the faculty in the Department of Biophysics since 1997. He obtained his BA at the University of Colorado, studying Molecular Biology and Chemistry, where he did independent research with Larry Gold, Gary Stormo, and Tom Schneider, and learned information theory, multiple regression techniques, nearest-neighbor models, and recombinant DNA work. He obtained his Ph.D. in the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford in the laboratory of Buzz Baldwin, where he studied protein folding, and experimentally and thermodynamically characterized a partly folded “molten globule” state of apomyoglobin. He did postdoctoral research at the University of Oregon in the laboratory of Rick Dahlquist, where he used chemical rescue techniques to study structure, energetics, and allostery in myoglobin and hemoglobin, and learned some NMR.
