Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

约瑟夫·诺埃尔博士被授予化学博士后研究奖学金。诺埃尔博士毕业于俄亥俄州立大学，师从蔡明道教授。诺埃尔博士打算在保罗·西格勒教授的赞助下继续在耶鲁大学进行研究。诺埃尔博士的博士后研究领域将是阐明酶催化机制的结构基础，这在很大程度上是由X射线结晶学揭示的。他将使膜上的光感受器蛋白视紫红质结晶。从这项研究中获得的经验应该有助于对分支酸变位酶的结构、化学和进化进行更广泛的研究。化学博士后奖学金计划被视为一个重要的基础设施计划，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，并吸引他们在当代化学研究和教学中从事有意义的职业。

Dr. Joseph Noel has been awarded a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Noel's doctoral degree was from Ohio State University under the direction of Professor Ming-Daw Tsai. Dr. Noel intends to continue research at Yale University under the sponsorship of Professor Paul Sigler. Dr. Noel's area of postdoctoral research will be the elucidation of the structural basis for enzymic catalytic mechanisms as revealed largely by x-ray crystallography. He will be crystallizing the membrane photoreceptor protein, rhodopsin. The experience gained from this study should facilitate longer-range studies of the structure, chemistry and evolution of chorismate mutase. The Postdoctoral Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph.D's and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
