Charles B. "Chuck" Grissom received his B.A. in Biochemistry and Chemistry from the University of California Riverside in 1981. He completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry under the direction of W.W. Cleland at the University of Wisconsin Madison in 1985. He was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory of John L. Markley from 1985 to 1987, and at the University of California Berkeley in the laboratory of Paul A. Bartlett from 1987 to 1989. In 1989, he assumed his position in the Chemistry Department at the University of Utah where his laboratory focuses on magnetic spin effects in enzymatic and chemical reactions. His passion in life is understanding the mechanism of biological catalysts. Outside of the lab, his passions are mountain biking, exploring old uranium mines, and neon art.
