Though molecules, especially those in biology, move when performing functions, most pictures of molecules are static. Dr. Eaton E. Lattman reveals a new instrument at Stanford University which allows scientists to make motion pictures of molecules in action and the profound impact that it can have on the future.


Earning his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his PhD from Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Eaton E. Lattman has spent nearly his entire academic career at the Johns Hopkins University. Beginning as a graduate student in Biophysics, and rising to become Dean of Research and Graduate Education in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. He was instrumental in setting up the Hopkins Institute for Biophysical Research, which served as a focal point for the growth of biophysics across the whole university. He has served on many NIH committees – notably, the National Advisory General Medical Sciences Council, and the NIGMS Advisory Committee on the Protein Structure Initiative. Dr. Lattman joined the University at Buffalo, Department of Structural Biology as a faculty member, and Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute as its CEO. While in Buffalo, Dr. Lattman has expanded the UB Department of Structural Biology and HWI's collaborations with both academia and industry.
