Ad Bax
Adriaan "Ad" Bax (born June 14, 1956) is a molecular Biophysicist. He was born in Holland and is currently a US Citizen. He is the Chief of the Section on Biophysical NMR Spectroscopy at the National Institutes of Health.
Bax was born in Zevenbergen, Netherlands. He studied at Oxford University and Delft University of Technology where he got his engineer's degree in 1978, and Ph.D. degree in applied physics in 1981 with Ray Freeman. He worked as a postdoc with Gary Maciel at Colorado State University, before he joined the NIH's Laboratory of Chemical Physics in 1983. In 2002 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1]
Bax works in the field of biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, and he has developed many of the standard methods in the field. Bax has contributed heavily to the development of triple resonance experiments for resonance assignment of proteins, and to the development of using residual dipolar couplings and chemical shifts for determining RNA and protein structures. He is one of the most cited and important scientists in the field.[1]
