Biography
Dan Bolon majored in Biology at Duke University (B.S., 1997). For Dan’s graduate work, he studied computational enzyme design with Steve Mayo at the California Institute of Technology (Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, 2002). From 2002-2005, he trained as a postdoc with Bob Sauer in the Biology Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology using a variety of biochemical and biophysical techniques including X-ray crystallography, fluorescence, analytical ultracentrifugation, and protein engineering to study AAA+ proteases. Dan was awarded a NIH fellowship to support his postdoctoral studies (2004-2005). Other interests include mountain biking and baseball. Dan joined the faculty in Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology in September, 2005.
