Raymond C. Stevens

Ray Stevens is an American structural biologist.

He grew up in Maine, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the University of Southern Maine and, in 1988, a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Southern California. He then took a postdoctoral position in William Lipscomb's lab at Harvard University. Stevens then took a tenure-track position at the University of California, Berkeley. He later left Berkeley to take a tenured position at The Scripps Research Institute and is currently Professor of Molecular Biology and Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.

Stevens is known for obtaining the structures of many biologically significant proteins and his technological innovations. Ray is considered to be one of the fathers of high-throughput x-ray crystallography. In October, 2007, Stevens published the first structure of a human GPCR.
