Miri Krupkin

Basic Life Research Scientist, Structural Biology

Bio

My background is deeply rooted in structural biology and biochemistry of proteins and RNA. My current research focuses on understanding the regulatory role of RNA structures in HIV infection. To this end, I am focusing on revealing the conformational landscape of viral RNA during reverse transcription. I am also devoted to promoting science education and outreach.

Chris Garcia

Younger Family Professor and Professor of Structural Biology
Research Interests
Structural and functional studies of transmembrane receptor interactions with their ligands in systems relevant to human health and disease - primarily in immunity, infection, and neurobiology. We study these problems using protein engineering, structural, biochemical, and combinatorial biology approaches.

Pehr Harbury

Associate Professor of Biochemistry
Research Interests
Scientific breakthroughs often come on the heels of technological advances; advances that expose hidden truths of nature, and provide tools for engineering the world around us. Examples include the telescope (heliocentrism), the Michelson interferometer (relativity) and recombinant DNA (molecular evolution). Our lab explores innovative experimental approaches to problems in molecular biochemistry, focusing on technologies with the potential for broad impact.

Daniel Herschlag

Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Research Interests
Our research is aimed at understanding the chemical and physical behavior underlying biological macromolecules and systems, as these behaviors define the capabilities and limitations of biology. Toward this end we study folding and catalysis by RNA, as well as catalysis by protein enzymes.
