John C Sherman is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia (UBC), part of the Faculty of Science. He specializes in the design and synthesis of organic and biological molecules to study molecular recognition and protein folding. His research focuses on caviteins (cavitand-based proteins), carceplexes, and self-assembling structures.
Education: B.A., Haverford College (1983); Ph.D., UCLA (1988); Postdoctoral training at Rockefeller University (1988-89) and NYU (1991).
Research interests include creating hybrid cavitand-proteins to bind guest molecules, studying carceplex formation mechanisms, and developing self-assembling systems for drug delivery. Techniques used include organic synthesis, peptide synthesis, HPLC, NMR, and circular dichroism. His work bridges organic chemistry and biochemistry, with applications in materials science and molecular biology.
