Wand heads department at Texas A&M

has just completed his first semester as head of the department of biochemistry and biophysics at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University. He was named to the position effective Aug. 1.

Wand was previously the Benjamin Rush professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. In addition to his department head duties at Texas A&M, Wand is teaching third-year biochemistry to undergraduates and a graduate course in biophysics.

His research looks at the intricacies of how to manipulate protein recognition of other proteins. Over the years, he has focused on the influence of the physical properties of proteins and their function, with an emphasis on how the internal structure of protein molecules fluctuates over time.

Wand is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Biophysical Society. He earned his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and master’s degree in chemistry from Carleton University in Ontario, Canada, and his doctoral degree in biophysics from the University of Pennsylvania.

In memoriam: Michael Rossmann

Purdue University structural biologist died May 14 at the age of 88.

Rossmann was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1930 and immigrated to England in 1939. There, he studied physics and mathematics at the University of London before receiving his Ph.D. in chemical crystallography from the University of Glasgow in 1956. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota and a stint as a research assistant at the University of Cambridge, he joined the faculty at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, in 1964, where he would remain for more than five decades.

In 1985, he was the first scientist to map the structure of the common cold on the atomic level with X-ray crystallography. In subsequent decades, Rossmann continued to turn the towering microscopes he helped bring to Purdue on a variety of viruses, including Dengue virus, Zika virus and the giant Mimivirus.

A member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of London, Rossmann continued his research career into his final years.

He is survived by his three children, Martin, Alice and Heather and four grandchildren; following his wife Audrey Pearson’s death in 2009, he remarried in 2018 and is survived by his second wife, Karen Bogan.
