Biography
Eddy is a physical chemist who specializes in the investigation of the structure and conformational dynamics of membrane proteins, including G Protein-Coupled Receptors, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Dr. Eddy received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working in the laboratory of Professor Robert Griffin. During his Ph.D., Dr. Eddy developed new methodologies for applying solid state NMR to study the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins, focusing on discovering the mechanism of ion selectivity of the human mitochondrial membrane protein VDAC. After completing his Ph.D, Dr. Eddy joined the laboratory of Professor Ray Stevens at The Scripps Research Institute. There, he began working in collaboration with Professor Kurt Wuthrich to investigate the conformational dynamics of G Protein-Coupled Receptors with solution nuclear magnetic resonance.
