“My research program aims to understand
how molecules, such as drugs or hormones, are able to identify a single
protein among tens of thousands of possibilities,” Urbach said. “This
fidelity is crucial to the function of molecules in living systems. A better
understanding of these processes will enable us to design new
pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics.”
The Crate lectures are free and open to the public. For more
information, contact Dr. Bob Holloway, associate professor of chemistry at
Schreiner, (830) 792-7250 or
bholloway@schreiner.edu. |
