Henrik
G. Dohlman, PhD Henrik is Vice Chair and Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics and also Professor of Pharmacology. Henrik attended Wesleyan University, received his PhD with Bob Lefkowitz at a nearby rival university and posdoc training with Jeremy Thorner at UC Berkeley. Prior to joining the faculty at UNC he was Associate Professor of Pharmacology at Yale University. hdohlman@med.unc.edu |

Matthew
Torres, PhD Matt is a native of New Mexico, a post-doc, a graduate of the Biochemistry and Biophysics Department having worked with Christoph Borchers. Matt is working on regulation of G protein signal intensity by mono- and poly-ubiquitination. He is also the proud father of a desk ornament. matthew_torres@med.unc.edu |

Joshua Kelley, PhD Josh is a joint post-doc with Tim Elston's group. Josh received his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Virginia, where he studied regulation of the RanGTPase and nuclear transport in the context of stress signaling. He now turns his attention to the regulation of chemotropic growth and gradient sensing. jbkelley@email.unc.edu |

2010-2011 Daniel Isom. Dan received his PhD in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University where he studied protein electrostatics. After a brief postdoc in the lab he is now Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics investigating how protein dynamics are regulated by cellular stress. Dan remains a neighbor as he transitions to independence. disom@med.unc.edu |
