Overview

Dr. Steven Goodman has been working on the spectrin membrane skeleton for the past thirty years. He was the first to describe nonerythroid spectrin in 1981 and has since demonstrated spectrin functions as diverse as regulating synaptic transmission, intracellular calcium homeostasis, and DNA repair. He more recently has provided the first description of the erythrocyte proteome; described defects in the sickle cell RBC proteome; defined the molecular basis of the irreversibly sickled cell; and demonstrated a new spectrin function as a ubiquitin conjugating/ligating enzyme.

Dr. Goodman joined the UT Dallas faculty five years ago, coming from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine where he was Chair of the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience and Director of the NIH Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center. Dr. Goodman is the C.L. and Amelia A. Lundell Professor of Life Sciences and is an Adjunct Professor of Cell Biology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Working collaboratively with Dr. George Buchanan and colleagues at UTSW, Dr. Goodman helped bring the first NIH Sickle Cell Center to Texas. Steve is the immediate Past President of the Association of Anatomy, Cell Biology, and Neurobiology Chairs. He serves on multiple Editorial Boards and is Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Biology and Medicine. The third edition of Dr. Goodman’s textbook, Medical Cell Biology, will be available in 2007.
