Bruce C. Gibb (born 1965 in Aberdeen, Scotland) is a professor of chemistry at Tulane University.
He is notable for his work in aqueous supramolecular chemistry, with particular emphasis on self-assembly leading to compartmentalization, and contributing to fundamental understandings of the hydrophobic effect and Hofmeister effect (e.g. protein solubility in the presence of various salts)[1] [2] Bruce C. Gibb received both his B.Sc.
His Ph.D. Synthesis and Structural Examination of 3a,5-cyclo-5a-Androstane Steroids was carried out under the direction of Philip J. Cox and Steve M. MacManus.
He accepted a gratis appointment as a post-doctoral researcher with John Sherman at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1993 where he "discovered" his interest in supramolecular chemistry.
[3] He worked at UBC through 1994, and subsequently as a post-doctoral researcher with James Canary at New York University from 1994-1996.
