B. Montgomery "Monte" Pettitt is the Director of the Sealy Center for Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, holder of the Robert A. Welch Distinguished Chair in Chemistry, and tenured Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, as well as the department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. He is also affiliated with and former director of The W. M. Keck Center at Rice University, and a faculty member of the Structural and Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics program at Baylor College of Medicine. At the University of Houston, he was the Hugh Roy and Lille Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Robert A. Welch Chair in Chemistry, as well as the director of its Institute for Molecular Design.

He received his B. S. in Chemistry and Mathematics at the University of Houston in December 1975, and his Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Houston in May 1980. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin (1980 1983) under the tutelage of Dr. Peter J. Rossky and then at Harvard University (1983 1985) under the tutelage of Nobel Laureate, Dr. Martin Karplus.

In 2004, he was affiliated with the Institute for Molecular Design at the University of Houston, The W. M. Keck Center at Rice University and the Ph. D. program in Structural and Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics at Baylor College of Medicine. He is the author of over 200 peer reviewed journal articles.
