Douglas Clark, dean of the College of Chemistry and professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, will lecture on “Protein engineering for new biocatalysts and advanced biomaterials” at the upcoming 2016 Hohenschuh Lecture.
Clark’s lecture will be held on Monday, Feb. 29, at 3:10 p.m. Heald Hall Room G3 on Washington State University’s Pullman campus. There will be a reception prior in Eastlick Room 171.
A leader in biochemical engineering, Clark has published more than 240 papers in peer-reviewed journals, has 26 patents and patent applications, and is the co-author of a textbook on biochemical engineering. His work on biocatalyst engineering has created new opportunities for the application of enzymes in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and agrochemical industries.
Clark is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Institute of Medical and Biomedical Engineers, and is the recipient of numerous awards for bioengineering and biochemistry. He is the editor-in-chief of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, and is on the editorial boards of Enzyme and Microbial Technology and Extremophiles.
The Hohenschuh Lecture was established by Paul Hohenschuh and his wife Marjorie Winkler in WSU’s Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering as a reflection of their deep interest in higher education and their strongly held belief in the empowerment that education provides for one’s life.
