Scott A. Strobel Ph.D. is the Henry Ford II Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University and the vice-president of West Campus Planning and Program Development. He has been a Professor with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 2006. He earned his B.A. in Biochemistry from Brigham Young University and his Ph.D. in biology from the California Institute of Technology under the guidance of Peter Dervan before doing his postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado, Boulder under the mentorship of Thomas Cech.His lab focuses on the biophysics and biochemistry of catalytic RNAs including riboswitches and the peptidyl transferase center. His group developed the early methods of Nucleotide Analog Interference Mapping used to determine the importance of particular functional groups in a structured RNA molecule. Strobel's group solved the x-ray crystal structure of the full length Azoarcus Group I catalytic intron (PDB entries 1U6B, 1ZZN, 3BO2), the glmS ribozyme (e.g., PDB 3G9C), and the c-di-GMP riboswitch (e.g., PDB 3IRW, 3Q3Z). He has also collaborated with the Steitz lab at Yale on structural studies toward better understanding the mechanism of ribosomal peptide synthesis.He joined the Yale faculty in 1995 and became a full professor in 2001. He chaired the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from 2006-2009 before being appointed Vice-President in 2011. As a Professor with HHMI, and as a natural follow-on from the work of his father Gary Strobel, he teaches an undergraduate Rainforest Expedition and Laboratory (REAL) which takes a group of students into the rainforest over spring break to hunt for novel endophytes that live inside plants. Following the fieldwork, the students isolate the microbes and test them for interesting properties. The students in the course have discovered a variety of organisms including a novel fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora which degrades polyurethane.He was a Searle Scholar, a Beckman Young Investigator and American Cancer Society Beginning Investigator. In 2004 he was awarded the Dylan Hixon Prize for teaching excellence in the Natural Sciences by Yale College and in 2007 he received the Graduate Mentoring award from the Yale Graduate School. In 2008 he received the Schering Plough Research Institute award from the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2009 he was named a National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellow by the Office of Naval Research.
