James Nowick
James Nowick is a professor of chemistry at University of California, Irvine. His research is focused on peptidomimetic (peptide-like) molecules and their potential applications to the study of amyloid-like protein aggregates, which are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=2043 )〕 Nowick is well known for his interest in chemistry education and is the organizer of the Open Chemistry series of video lectures distributed by UCI. Nowick is openly gay and in 2009 received the Scientist of the Year award from the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals (NOGLSTP), an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
==Academic career==
Nowick received his bachelor's degree from Columbia University in 1985 and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990. He joined the faculty at University of California, Irvine in 1991.〔
Nowick's research group studies the synthesis and design of peptidomimetic molecules, or those that resemble peptides, with particular interest in molecules that replicate features of beta sheets such as their characteristic hydrogen bonding patterns. Beta sheet interactions are known to be involved in the formation of amyloid fibrils found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and in other protein misfolding diseases. Nowick's group studies molecules that interfere with the formation of these interactions in order to improve understanding of the biochemical mechanisms underlying these diseases.
Nowick was a recipient of the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society in 1998.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/funding-and-awards/awards/national/bytopic/arthur-c-cope-scholar-awards.html )〕 He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.〔
