Daniel Bolon, PhD

Professor

Research Focus: The Bolon Lab investigates relationships between protein sequence, structure and function.

Scientific Training: . Daniel Bolon majored in biochemistry at Duke University where he received his bachelor degree in 1997. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2002 from Caltech where he studied computational enzyme design with Steve Mayo. As a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, he worked with Bob Sauer investigating the mechanism of adapter mediated protein degradation. In 2005, he joined the faculty in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. His lab developed the EMPIRIC approach to systematically quantify the impacts of all point mutations on protein function. His lab continues to utilize protein fitness landscapes to understand mechanism in protein function and evolution.
