Charles Barlowe

Charles K. Barlowe is a professor of biochemistry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, where he studies mechanisms of intracellular transport of proteins and lipids. ^{[1] [2]} His focus is on the molecular mechanisms of protein and lipid trafficking that underlie intracellular transport and seeks to understand how proteins catalyze distinct sub-reactions in membrane traffic. ^[3] Currently, his focus is on the mechanisms of protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. ^[4] He uses yeast and animal cell models to study this process using biochemistry, molecular genetics, and microscopy.

Barlowe served as chair of the department of biochemistry and cell biology from 2008-2025. ^{[5] [6]}
