Timeline
Gary J. Pielak (born July 17, 1955) is an American biological chemist, who is known for pioneering quantitative techniques for measuring protein structure, stability, diffusion, and concentration in living cells, and under crowded conditions.
Pielak is the Kenan Distinguished Professor.
of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center , and Department of Chemistry.
He is a Fellow of the Biophysical Society.
Pielak earned a B.A. in chemistry, cum laude, from Bradley University in 1977, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry 1983 from Washington State University under J. Ivan Legg.
His dissertation was titled "Characterization of Arsanilazo & Sulfanilazo Proteins".
He conducted postdoctoral work studying the functional role of certain amino acid residues on cytochrome c electron transfer at the University of British Columbia with eventual Nobel Prize-winner Michael Smith and at the University of Oxford with Robert Williams.
He joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1989.
Using in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a technique he helped develop, Pielak determined that the effects of in-cell crowding do not arise solely from the close-packed nature of the cytoplasm but rather that repulsive and attractive chemical interactions between cellular components determine the effects of macromolecular crowding.
These interactions organize the inside of cells, controlling metabolism and signaling.
He and his collaborators have presented a quantitative model to explain crowding effects that is independent of crowder identity.
