		Lewis Joel Greene Full Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology (retired) FMRP/USP Supervisor of the Center for Protein Chemistry, at Regional Blood Center of Ribeirão Preto Volunteer head teacher (senior associate) of FMRP/USP ljgreene@fmrp.usp.br PubMed Scopus ResearchID Scielo Scholar
Education		1951-1955 B.A (magna cum laude), Amherst College, Amherst Massachusetts 1955-1962 Ph D, Rockefeller University, C.H.W. HIRS and G.E. Palade (Research advisors) 1990 Full Professor, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Research Interests		Structure and function of proteins Protein- protein interactions Proteomics as an entry to cell biology Molecular basis of cancer Molecular basis of sepsis
Research Overview		The recent focus of our group has been to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of diseases and cancer . We are collaborating with biologists, clinicians and chemists using the methodologies of protein chemistry and molecular biology to identify biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis and to understand the processes involved.
