John C. Conboy is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Utah. His research focuses on the structure and dynamics of lipid membranes, utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques like sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) to explore interfacial phenomena in biological systems.
- Education: B.S. (University of California, Davis, 1991), Ph.D. (University of Oregon, 1996), NIH Postdoctoral Fellow (University of Arizona, 1998-2000)
His work addresses fundamental questions in membrane biology, including lipid flip-flop, electrostatic interactions, and the influence of ions and peptides on membrane asymmetry. He has developed novel label-free detection methods for studying drug-membrane interactions and protein binding.
Key themes in his research include:
- Lipid bilayer dynamics and asymmetry
- Nonlinear optical spectroscopy applications
- Role of cholesterol and ions in membrane behavior
- Design of synthetic membrane mimics
- Interfacial tension and electrochemistry
Scientific Awards:
- NIH Postdoctoral Fellow
