Guido Guidotti
Guido Guidotti is a biochemist who came to Harvard in 1963 to work on protein chemistry. His graduate training was done at the Rockefeller Institute in New York, in a lab directed by Lyman Craig--after attending medical shool at Washington University in the late 1950s. At Harvard he started by working on the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin (using his own blood!) extracted with the help of a countercurrent distribution machine he brought from the Rockefeller Institute. A successful researcher and teacher, he was awarded in 2000 the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Prize for Excellence in Teaching.
According to his webpage Guidotti's current research is as follow: "The function and regulation of membrane proteins involved in the transfer of solutes (channels and transporters) and of information (receptors) across the plasma membrane are the subjects of research in this laboratory.
The particular proteins under study are the insulin receptor, the (Na,K) ATPase, an insulin-activated cation channel, channels and transporters for ATP, and an ecto-apyrase."
