Research Interests

Dr Groves has had a long-standing interest in the physical and biological aspects of cell membranes. His group combines aspects of cellular biophysics, physical chemistry, and materials science to study key aspects of signal transduction processes in cell membranes.

Biography

Dr Groves received his BS degree in Physics and Chemistry (summa cum laude) from Tufts University in 1992, followed by his Ph.D. in Biophysics from Stanford University in 1998. At Stanford, he worked with Professors Steven Boxer and Harden McConnell, and there developed the patterned supported membrane technology. In 1998 he went to Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan as a Visiting Scholar, and then joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a Division Director’s Fellow in 1999. In 2001 he joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department at UC Berkeley, where he is currently an Associate Professor with tenure. In 2008 he became a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and in 2009 joined MBI. Dr Groves is best known for his introduction of the Spatial Mutation technology and its application to physical studies of cell biology.
