Research Interests:
Dr. Golub is Professor of Biochemistry. His laboratory is primarily involved in two research areas: calcification of hard tissues and computer applications in biochemistry and molecular biology. He has been involved in the development of computer programs for prediction and graphical display of protein secondary structure from sequence. In the calcification area, the focus is on the role of the Matrix Vesicles and the enzyme, alakaline phosphotase, in initiating mineral formation in cartilage and bone. His teaching activities include the biochemistry courses for first-year dental students, and lectures to post-doctoral dental students.
