He is a Professor and chair in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at University of California, San Francisco, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at University of California, Berkeley, and an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Shokat received his B.A, in chemistry from Reed College in , completing his thesis, "Synthesis of a precursor of PRCPCP, a non-hydrolyzable analog of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP)," with Ron McClard, and his Ph.D.
from University of California, Berkeley in , under Peter G. Schultz.
Shokat is one of the leading figures in the field of chemical genetics.[2] He uses methods of bioorganic chemistry to elucidate signal transduction pathways at the single cell and whole organism levels, and is particularly interested in protein kinases, and developing methods to elucidate the particular targets of
