David E. Volk holds a bachelors degree in mathematics and physics from Minot State (ND) University, and a Ph.D (1995) in physical organic chemistry from North Dakota State University. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Duke University Medical Center under Leonard Spicer, was a research scientist at the University of Texas Medical Branch for 12 years, and is currently an Assistant Professor ([http://www.uthouston.edu/imm/faculty.htm faculty page]) in the [http://www.uthouston.edu/imm/centers/center-for-proteomics-and-systems-biology.htm Center for Proteomics and Systems Biology] at the [http://www.uthouston.edu/imm/ Brown Foundation Institute for Molecular Medicine], [http://www.uthouston.edu/ UT Health Science Center Houston]. | |||
For much of his career, Dr. Volk's work has used biophysical techniques, such as [[NMR Spectroscopy]] and [[Quantum mechanics]], to investigate the structures [[carcinogen]]-adducted [[DNA]], proteins and aptamers. | |||
Past studies involved solving the structures of the envelope protein domain III of several [[flavivirus|flaviviruses]] including [[West Nile virus|West Nile]], [[Yellow fever virus|Yellow fever]], [[Omsk Hemorhaggic Fever virus |Omsk Hemorhaggic Fever]] and [[Dengue fever]] viruses, the S100P protein, [[glucocorticoid receptor protein]], and the VPg protein of [[poliovirus]]. Other studies involved both structure and quantum mechanics studies of damaged DNA, such as oxidized DNA or [[carcinogen]]-adducted DNA, and DNA [[aptamer]]s and [[thioaptamer]]s. His most recent work focuses on [[metabonomic]]s, [[proteomics]], [[bioinformatics]], and thioaptamer library designs. | |||

Dave playing a Michael Kelly Dragonfly acoustic base at the Stingaree Music Festival
Where David lives it is approximately: 11:16
All truth passes through three stages:
- First, it is ridiculed.
- Second, it is violently opposed.
- Third, it is accepted as being self-evident

Biography
David E. Volk holds a bachelors degree in mathematics and physics from Minot State (ND) University, and a Ph.D (1995) in physical organic chemistry from North Dakota State University. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Duke University Medical Center under Leonard Spicer, was a research scientist at the University of Texas Medical Branch for 12 years, and is currently an Assistant Professor (faculty page) in the Center for Proteomics and Systems Biology at the Brown Foundation Institute for Molecular Medicine, UT Health Science Center Houston.
For much of his career, Dr. Volk's work has used biophysical techniques, such as NMR Spectroscopy and Quantum mechanics, to investigate the structures carcinogen-adducted DNA, proteins and aptamers. Past studies involved solving the structures of the envelope protein domain III of several flaviviruses including West Nile, Yellow fever, Omsk Hemorhaggic Fever and Dengue fever viruses, the S100P protein, glucocorticoid receptor protein, and the VPg protein of poliovirus. Other studies involved both structure and quantum mechanics studies of damaged DNA, such as oxidized DNA or carcinogen-adducted DNA, and DNA aptamers and thioaptamers. His most recent work focuses on metabonomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and thioaptamer library designs.
