Daniel M. Watterson
Northwestern Medical School

Daniel M. Watterson, John G. Searle Professor of Molecular Pharmacology & Biological Chemistry; Director, Drug Discovery Program. His research interests are: Elucidation of the molecular basis of eukaryotic cell regulation by intracellular signal transduction pathways, especially pathways mediated by calmodulin and calmodulin regulated protein kinases, and use of this knowledge to discover small molecule ligands that can modulate cellular responses. Watterson’s team in the Drug Discovery Program has been doing collaborative research with a team of researchers at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg for many years. Watterson was also a Visiting Scientist at the CNRS/INSERM at Montpellier/Marseille between 1992 and 1994.
