Charles Barlowe

Charles K. Barlowe is a professor of biochemistry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, where he studies mechanisms of intracellular transport of proteins and lipids. His focus is on the molecular mechanisms of protein and lipid trafficking that underlie intracellular transport and seeks to understand how proteins catalyze distinct sub-reactions in membrane traffic. Currently, his focus is on the mechanisms of protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. He uses yeast and animal cell models to study this process using biochemistry, molecular genetics, and microscopy.

Barlowe has been chairman of the department of biochemistry and cell biology since 2008.
