Stephen Rader is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George. He graduated from Swarthmore College with a BA in Biology and Chemistry, and obtained a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California, San Francisco. For his Ph.D. thesis with David Agard, he used x-ray crystallography to investigate active site dynamics in the bacterial alpha-lytic protease. As a postdoctoral fellow with Christine Guthrie, he used biochemical and genetic methods to study protein-mediated base pair formation of RNA. His current research seeks to understand the molecular details of pre-mRNA splicing.
