Career edit
A graduate of MacMurray College and University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (M.S., Ph.D.), Paulson was a faculty member and vice-chair of the Department of Biological Chemistry at UCLA School of Medicine (now David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA) from 1978-1990. In 1996, he began working for Cytel Corporation, where he was vice president, chief scientific officer, and member of the Board of Directors.[1]
In 1999, he joined the full-time faculty of The Scripps Research Institute. In 2001, he became principal researcher and founding director of the National Institutes of Health-funded Consortium for Functional Glycomics.[2] In 2013, he was appointed chair of the institute's Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. From August 2014 to September 2015, he was the institute's acting president and CEO.[3][4]
Paulson is currently Cecil H. and Ida Green Professor and co-chair of Department of Molecular Medicine[5] at The Scripps Research Institute.
Paulson’s research program focuses on the field of glycomics, the study of sugars on a molecular level.[6][7] His work, which may have implications for the treatment of cancer,[8] influenza,[9] and bacterial infections,[10] has been recognized by awards including: Melville L. Wolfram Award;[11] Karl Meyer Award;[12] Bijvoet Medal, Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research, Utrecht University;[13] Barnett Lecture, Northeastern University;[14] and United States EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award.[15]
Associations edit
Paulson is currently a Glycobiology (journal) editor[16] and past-chair of the American Chemical Society Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry.[17] He is also an advisory board member for: the Joint Center for Structural Genomics, PSI Biology; the Boston University Mass Spectrometry Resource; Alberta Glycomics Centre;[18] Institute for Biological Sciences, NRC, Ottawa; Center of Excellence in Influenza Research and Surveillance, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Glyco-Net.[19]
