Robert Thomas Sauer

Robert Thomas "Bob" Sauer (born July 13, 1948 in Cornwall , New York ) is an American biochemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Sauer earned a bachelor's degree in biophysics from Amherst College in 1972 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1979. in biochemistry and molecular biology . As a student, he also worked as a research technician at Massachusetts General Hospital . As early as 1978, Sauer received his first professorship (Assistant Professor) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , in 1982 he became Associate Professor , and in 1987 he was given a full professorship. From 1999 he was head of all biology at MIT. Here he is today (as of 2018) Salvador E. Luria Professor of Biology .

Sauer deals with questions of protein folding and protein structure , with protein stability and susceptibility to protein degradation .

In 1993 Sauer became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , in 1996 the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Microbiology . The Protein Society , of which he was President from 1997 to 1999, presented him with the Hans Neurath Award in 2007 and the Stein and Moore Award in 2013 .
