Henrik
G. Dohlman Henrik is Vice Chair and Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics and also Professor of Pharmacology. Henrik 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 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 trafficking by mono- and poly-ubiquitination. He is also the proud father of a desk ornament. matthew_torres@med.unc.edu |

Janice
Jones
Jan is a posdoc, having received her PhD in Arno Greenleaf's lab at Duke. She is working on a joint project with plant molecular biologist Alan Jones in the Biology Department. Jan tends to the lab greenhouse, a secure facility shielded with 1 inch thick plexiglass to protect passerbys from beta ray emissions. biochemnerd2000@yahoo.com |

Steven
Cappell Steve is a native of Florida, a graduate student in the Pharmacology Department. Steve is a former marine biologist, and is currently fishing for novel regulators of G protein signaling. scappell@med.unc.edu |

Erin
Heenan Erin is a true Tar Heel and a graduate student in Biochemistry and Biophysics. Erin's project, as well as her true identity, is a secret, but it has something to do with an atypical G protein beta/gamma complex at the endosome. heenan@email.unc.edu |
