★David J. E. Callaway★ (大卫·凯乐威) is a biological nanophysicist. He is Professor and Laboratory Director. Dr Callaway has worked extensively in the field of Alzheimer's disease, specifically in understanding and controlling amyloid formation. His Alzheimer's program has developed and patented several potent new therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease, based upon apomorphine. Dr Callaway initiated the study of protein domain dynamics by neutron spin echo spectroscopy, allowing the direct observation of protein nanomachinery in motion. Protein dynamics underlies long-range allostery, which is essential for addressing human disease. It is also a cornerstone of synthetic biology.

Earlier work of his involved the invention (with Aneesur Rahman ) of the microcanonical ensemble approach to lattice gauge theory. This introduction of molecular dynamics methods significantly increased computational efficiency in the numerical simulation of quantum field theories. Other work showed that quantum triviality provided new constraints on the Higgs boson, such as a bounded or calculable Higgs mass. Professor Callaway later published a well-cited monograph on the subject. He has also shown a direct connection between black hole entropy and liquid surface tension. He also reformulated the Laughlin model of the fractional statistics quantum Hall effect using random matrix theory, affording a connection to geometric models of string theory, and showed that the superconducting intermediate state allowed a direct view of a quantum phase space.

In his ★copious★ free time, he sails the world and climbs its mountains.

Biological NanoPhysics
Protein nanomachines are far more complex than any molecular machines that have yet been artificially constructed.
Their skillful utilization likely represents the future of medicine.
Our work clears significant hurdles to the use of this very important tool.
