Russell F. Doolittle is in the Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of California, San Diego. His long time research interests have centered around the structure and evolution of proteins. In recent years his experimental work has dealt with the X-ray crystallography of fibrinogen and fragments of fibrin, but he has also maintained a sustained interest in the evolution of blood coagulation, a project he initiated while a graduate student. Professor Doolittle received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. During the year 1961-62 he was an Instructor of biology at Amherst College, after which he was an N.I.H. postdoctoral fellow in Sweden. He moved to UCSD in 1964, where he has remained throughout his career.
