Jack Skalicky, PhD is a research professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah and is the director of the University of Utah Health Sciences Nuclear Magnetic Resonance core. Dr. Skalicky's research effort is focused on two distinct topics (1) biochemistry and structural biology of human MIT (Microtubule Interacting and Trafficking) proteins and their interaction with Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT) proteins and (2) structure-dynamics-function studies of model enzyme systems, i.e., how internal protein motions contribute to enzyme catalysis.
