This week, professor Shahir Rizk gave a talk on protein engineering as a part of a seminar series hosted by the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the IU School of Medicine. While you are probably aware of Rizk's many research endeavors involving our undergraduate students in the two areas of protein engineering listed above, you may not be aware that Rizk also teaches as an adjunct instructor for the IU School of Medicine. When he sometimes can take a break from teaching and researching, you may find him at a number of special events at the local LangLab (which is a mixture of cafe, art, science, and entertainment) or holed away finishing a general-audience book on the marvels of proteins.
