Dr. Barry Margulies received B.S. at MIT in Applied Biological Sciences, with research in controlled release technology. He earned his Ph.D. at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in biochemistry, cellular, and molecular biology, where he studied the G protein-coupled receptors encoded by human cytomegalovirus. He did his post-doctoral studies also at the Hopkins School of Medicine (Division of Comparative Medicine), studying CD4-independent entry of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses. He was a professor at Towson University from 2001-2021, where he established the Towson University Herpes Virus Lab and taught classes in introductory biology, microbiology, virology, infectious disease, and molecular biology. His research there encompassed the molecular biology of human cytomegalovirus and new methods for the long-term prevention of recurrent outbreaks of herpes simplex viruses-1 and -2, varicella zoster virus, and feline herpes virus-1. He subsequently joined NIH as a Scientific Review Officer in the AIDS Review Branch before coming to CSR.
