Dr. Byrd received his Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in 1977, specializing in high-resolution biomolecular NMR. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow and subsequently a Research Officer in the Molecular Biophysics Laboratory of the National Research Council of Canada, where he investigated biological membranes by solid-state NMR. Following a period as a Senior Investigator at the Center for Drugs and Biologics/FDA, he established the Macromolecular NMR Section of the ABL-Basic Research Program at the NCI-FCRDC in 1992. He became the Chief of the Structural Biophysics Laboratory at its inception in 1999 when the ABL program was merged into the Center for Cancer Research, NCI. He has chaired the Experimental NMR Conference (1992) and co-chaired the International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (1996).
