معرفی
Samuel Bouyain is a Professor in the School of Science and Engineering at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). His research is centered on understanding molecular recognition in biological systems, particularly in the context of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions that influence nervous system function.
His research interests include:
- Structural Biology
- Biochemistry
- Protein X-ray Crystallography
- Molecular Recognition
- Extracellular Matrix
- Cell Surface Receptors
Dr. Bouyain's laboratory uses biochemical and structural approaches, primarily X-ray crystallography, to study purified proteins and their interactions. His work aims to elucidate the structural basis of cellular adhesion processes critical for metazoan development.
He earned his DPhil in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford in 2002 and completed his engineering training in chemistry at École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris in 1997.
No scientific awards were mentioned in the provided text.
Dr. Bouyain advises students in his research group, though specific names are not listed. He leads a research laboratory focused on structural biology, with a YouTube channel dedicated to his lab's work. His research is supported through institutional affiliations and likely external grants, though specific funding sources are not detailed.
His lab, located in room 406C Spencer Hall, actively investigates the structural mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and signaling.
