Stephen H. White is an American Biophysicist, academic, and author. He is a Professor Emeritus of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of California, Irvine.
White has published over 350 papers, has been cited over 30,000 times, and has a Google Scholar H-index of 84. He has focused his research on structure and folding of membrane proteins, with particular attention on protein structure prediction, peptide–bilayer interactions, cell membrane biophysics, structure of membranes and lipid bilayers, and antimicrobial peptides. He was awarded the 2014 Carl Brändén Award for his contributions to the field of membrane protein folding. He has authored several book chapters, and two books entitled, Membrane Protein Structure: Experimental Approaches and Cell Boundaries: How Membranes and Their Proteins Work.
White is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Neutron Scattering Society of America, and Biophysical Society, where he also served as President (1996-1997). He has served on numerous advisory boards of several professional organizations, including NIH, NSF, Department of Energy, and European Science Foundation.
