George Perry (born April 12, 1953) is a professor of biology and chemistry at the University of Texas at San Antonio and the former dean of the College of Sciences.

He then received a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Cell Biology in the laboratories of William R. Brinkley, Joseph Bryan and Anthony R. Means at Baylor College of Medicine where he laid the foundation for his observations of cytoskeletal abnormalities.

Perry's research is primarily focused on the mechanism of formation and physiological consequences of the cytopathology of Alzheimer disease.

He is currently working to determine the sequence of events leading to neuronal oxidative damage and the source of the increased oxygen radicals.

His current studies focus on two issues: (i) the metabolic basis for the mitochondrial damage restricted to vulnerable neurons; and (ii) the consequences of RNA oxidation on protein synthesis rate and fidelity.
