Robert Newberry Joining Department

The Department of Chemistry is pleased to announce that Robert Newberry will join the University of Texas at Austin in Spring 2022 as an assistant professor. An alumnus of the department (B.S., 2011), Dr. Newberry received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Ronald T. Raines. He went on to a postdoctoral position in William F. DeGrado’s laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Newberry’s research spans physical organic chemistry, chemical biology, and biophysics, and he will focus on developing new strategies for profiling protein structure to understand protein folding and misfolding at the molecular level.
