David Myszka trained as a graduate student with Richard Swenson at The Ohio State University and as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with Irwin Chaiken at Smith Kline Beecham Pharmaceuticals. Myszka’s group uses a number of biophysical techniques including surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors and titration calorimetry to characterize the kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms of biomolecular interactions. In addition to pioneering the methods, experimental design, and data analysis associated with biosensor analysis, Myszka helped define the thermodynamics of the HIV Env-CD4 interaction. His lab is currently developing purification methods and biosensor-based assays for membrane proteins, including the HIV co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4.
