Charles K. Barlowe is a professor of biochemistry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, where he studies mechanisms of intracellular transport of proteins and lipids.^[1][2] His focus is on the molecular mechanisms of protein and lipid trafficking that underlie intracellular transport and seeks to understand how proteins catalyze distinct sub-reactions in membrane traffic.^[3] Currently, his focus is on the mechanisms of protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex.^[4] He uses yeast and animal cell models to study this process using biochemistry, molecular genetics, and microscopy.

Barlowe has been chairman of the department of biochemistry and cell biology since 2008.^[5]
