Christopher Martin "Chris" Dobson, FRS, (born 8 October 1949[1]) is a British chemist, John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Chemical and Structural Biology at the University of Cambridge, and Master of St John's College, Cambridge. Dobson's research is largely concerned with protein folding and misfolding.[2]

Having completed a B.A. and D.Phil at the University of Oxford (Keble College and Merton College), Dobson held research fellowships at Merton and then Linacre College before working at Harvard University. He returned to Oxford in 1980 as a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford and as a university lecturer in chemistry, later receiving promotions to reader, then professor, in chemistry.[1] Dobson has been at Cambridge since 2001 and has been Master of St John's College, Cambridge since 2007.[3]

In 2009 he was awarded the Royal Medal by the Royal Society "for his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of protein folding and mis-folding, and the implications for disease."
