Lawrence J. Berliner

Professor Lawrence J. Berliner, University of Denver, and Emeritus Professor of The Ohio State University is a pioneer in protein structural and free radical research. His team developed thiol-specific spin labels, which facilitated site-directed spin labeling for studying protein structure in solution by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). His research has involved protein-protein interactions, free radicals, and in-vivo EPR.

Lawrence is a fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Chemical Society, Past-President of the International EPR Society. He and has received the 2000 Silver Medal of the International EPR Society and the 2005 Lifetime Achievement Award in Biological EPR Spectroscopy. He is Editor-in-Chief of Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics and has edited over 30 books on magnetic resonance applications in biology and medicine. He has spoken at many conferences the world on proteins, and magnetic resonance in the history of the Nobel Prize.
