 versity of Pittsburgh  \nProf. Jeffrey Brodsky holds the Avinoff Chair in
  Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh.  He was born in Chi
 cago\, Illinois\, and attended the University of Illinois where he receive
 d his bachelor's degree in Biochemistry\, graduating magna cum laude with 
 honors in 1985.  He then entered the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology g

 ces at the University of Pittsburgh in 1994 and was promoted to Associate 
 Professor in 2000.  In 2006 he was promoted to Full Professor and was awa
 rded the Avinoff Chair.  Prof. Brodsky’s work now focuses on understand
 ing how misfolded proteins are recognized and destroyed in the cell\, and 
 how defects in protein architecture can be corrected using drugs and genet
 ic approaches.  Based on his work\, he received the University of Pittsbu
 rgh Chancellor's Outstanding Research Award in the Junior Division in 1998
  and the Chancellor’s Outstanding Teaching Award in 2008\, as well as th
