★David J. E. Callaway★
(大卫·凯乐威)
is a biological nanophysicist in the
New York University School of Medicine.
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.

Their skillful utilization likely represents the future of medicine.
Our work clears significant hurdles to the use of this very important tool.
