Professor Dalbey won a Junior Faculty Award (1989-1992) from the American Cancer Society. Dalbey is interested in the biogenesis of the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, in particular the insertion of proteins into this membrane. Dalbey received his B. S. degree in chemistry from University of Washington in 1978 and his Ph. D. in Biochemistry from Washington State University in 1983. In 1996, he was a visiting professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland working with Professor Horst Vogel. These proteases such as signal peptidase and signal peptide peptidases are crucially important for a wide range of essential biological processes. Ross Dalbey’83 PhD was among eighty microbiologists elected to Fellowship in the American Academy of Microbiology this month.
