Professional Overview

Professional Education

PhD: Stanford University, Chemistry (1969)
B.S.: University of Michigan, Chemistry (1963)

Scientific Focus

Current Research Interests

I use computational chemistry to develop molecular theories of anesthesia and alcohol intoxication. I collaborate with three groups that use molecular biology to make site-directed mutations in ligand-gated ion channels. Molecular modeling of these channels is used to visualize the effect of mutations and to predict new mutations that will further refine their structure. I also use quantum mechanics calculations to determine the kinds of interactions that are likely to provide binding energy for anesthetic molecules at their sites of action.
