Brian Kuhlman, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received a B.A from Rice University in chemical physics and a PhD in chemistry from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, working in the laboratory of Daniel Raleigh. As a postdoctoral fellow in David Baker’s laboratory at the University of Washington he developed new computational protocols for protein design in the modeling program Rosetta. Dr. Kuhlman’s laboratory uses computational design to create new protein-protein interfaces, switches, and tertiary structures. He is a recipient of the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland prize and the Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology.
