Biography Professor Neel Ghosh, is the Emily Davis and Homer Weed Distinguished Professor’08 at the University of Arizona. His laboratory is broadly interested in Chemical Biology and Protein Design and Engineering with a focus on developing new tools and methods for advancing human health. The laboratory has a particular current interest in understanding protein kinases and protein-protein interactions and designing new ways to inhibit them in human diseases. Neel Ghosh is also a co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer for Luceome Biotechnologies. Neel received his doctoral degree in 1998 while working with Professor Jean Chmielewski at Purdue University. His doctoral research focused on designing inhibitors of protein-protein interactions and self-replicating peptides. In 1998 he joined Professor Andrew Hamilton and Professor Lynne Regan’s laboratories at Yale University as a joint postdoctoral fellow. At Yale, he discovered the first conditional split-Green Fluorescent Protein, which has been used as a means for measuring protein-protein interactions by many laboratories and the methodology is sometimes called fluorescent protein complementation. In 2001, Neel Ghosh joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor and then to the Davis & Weed Chair and Full Professor in 2011.
