James H. Hurley
James Hurley is a university professor known for his research into proteins. He won the 2014 Neurath Award from the Protein Society for a unique, recent contribution to basic science.
Education[edit]
Hurley trained in protein crystallography with Robert Stroud at the University of California, San Francisco, where he completed a PhD in biophysics in 1990. He also trained with Brian Matthews at the University of Oregon, where he was a postdoctoral fellow from 1990 to 1992.[1]
Career[edit]
Prior to entering academia, Hurley worked as an investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).[2]
Hurley is the Judy C. Webb Chair and Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.[3] His research interests focus on the interplay between proteins and lipids. Hurley received the 2014 Neurath Award from the Protein Society.[4] The award recognizes Hurley's "ground-breaking contributions to structural membrane biology and membrane trafficking."[5] In 2014, Hurley co-authored a study highlighting the importance of a protein called Nef in HIV.[6][7]
