Elliot L. Elson, Ph.D.
The Alumni Endowed Professor
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics |
| |
Professor Elson graduated from Harvard University in 1959
with an A.B. in Biochemical Science. His graduate work at Stanford
University (Ph.D., 1966) was with Robert Baldwin in the Department of
Biochemistry. After a post-doc with Bruno Zimm at the University of
California San Diego, he joined the chemistry faculty of Cornell University
in 1968 as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor in
1974 and Professor in 1978.
At Cornell he pioneered the development of fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy and fluorescence photobleaching recovery in collaboration with
Watt Webb of the Cornell Physics Department, and also developed the
repetitive pressure perturbation kinetics method. In 1979 he moved to the
Department of Biological Chemistry (now the Department of Biochemistry and
Molecular Biophysics) at Washington University School of Medicine, where he
has studied the movement and distribution of cell surface proteins, cell
motility, and the forces which determine the shapes of cells. |
