Paul S. Cremer (born 1967) is an American chemist in physical and analytical chemistry at biological interfaces.

Education and academic career

Cremer graduated from

University of Wisconsin-Madison A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. ''University'' is derived from the Latin phrase ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which ...

University of California, Berkeley The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley, Berkeley, Cal, or California) is a public land-grant research university in Berkeley, California. Established in 1868 as the University of California, it is the state's first land-grant u ...

in 1996, and completed postdoctoral work at Stanford University (1996-1998). Cremer joined the faculty in the chemistry department, Texas A&M University in 1998. He is known for his work in

Hofmeister series The Hofmeister series or lyotropic series is a classification of ions in order of their lyotrophic properties, which is the ability to salt out or salt in proteins. The effects of these changes were first worked out by Franz Hofmeister, who stud ...
