About Rebeck:
Julius Rebek, Jr. was born in Hungary in 1944 and lived in Austria from 1945-49. He and his family then settled in the U.S.A. in Kansas. He received his undergraduate education at the University of Kansas in 1966, and obtained the Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1970) for studies in peptide chemistry with Professor D.S. Kemp. As an Assistant Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (1970-1976) he developed the threephase test for reactive intermediates. In 1976 he moved to the University of Pittsburgh where he rose to the rank of Professor of Chemistry and developed cleft-like structures for studies in molecular recognition. In 1989 he returned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was the Camille Dreyfus Professor of Chemistry and devised synthetic, self-replicating molecules. In July of 1996, he moved his research group to The Scripps Research Institute to become the Director of The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, where he continues to work in molecular recognition and self-assembling systems.
