George S. Wilson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Kansas, received his PhD in 1965 from the University of Illinois under the direction of Arnold Hartley. After two years of post-doctoral study in biochemistry at Illinois with Lowell Hager and I.C. Gunsalus, he joined the Chemistry faculty at the University of Arizona. In 1987 he was appointed Higuchi Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Kansas. Prof. Wilson’s research divides into four areas: 1. Fundamental Electrochemistry related to mechanistic studies and to Electrochemical Methodology, for example, to the use of the RDE to study immobilized enzyme kinetics. 2. Electrochemistry of Proteins and Protein Model Systems, focuses on how molecular structural properties affect electrochemistry and the role which methionine can play in intramolecular electron transfer. 3. In-Vivo Electrochemistry including real time monitoring of blood glucose in humans and the study of energy utilization through real-time monitoring in the rodent brain, for example, during sleep. 4. Electrochemical detection has also been employed in bioanalytical applications. Prof. Wilson is the author or co-author of three monographs on the subject of bioelectrochemistry. He is the winner of the C.N. Reilley Award and the recipient of the American Chemical Society Analytical Division Electrochemistry Award. He is a Fellow of the ACS and the International Society of Electrochemistry and served as Chair of the Commission on Electrochemistry and President of the Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division of IUPAC.
