Dr. Dailey also serves as director of the Biomedical and Health Sciences Institute at the University of Georgia.
His seminar, titled "The Role of Protein Dynamics in Catalysis and Protein – Protein Interactions at the End of the Heme Synthesis Pathway," will take place Oct. 14, 2010, at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building auditorium.
Dr. Dailey’s research is aimed at a key and essential compound named Heme known for the vast majority of living organisms. Heme, as a cofactor in a variety of proteins, is widely acknowledged to be essential for gas transport, respiration, xenobiotic detoxification, peroxide production and destruction, fatty acid desaturation, and a variety of one electron transfer reactions.
Dr. Dailey received his bachelor of arts degree and his doctorate degree at UCLA. He was an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Connecticut Health Center prior to joining the faculty in the department of microbiology in 1980. He was appointed Acting Head in 1987 and professor and head in 1990. He was also the recipient of an NIH Research Career Development Award from 1983 to 1988.
