Researcher profile

Dorothee Kern is a Professor at Scripps Research Institute and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dorothee has led pioneering work in discovering how protein dynamics, which she visualizes at atomic resolution, controls protein function; recognized by the election to the AAAS, the Leopoldina, the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry. By reconstructing the protein evolution over billions of years she developed a new concept of exploiting the proteins dance for developing highly selective drugs, founding Relay and MOMA Therapeutics.

Summers, Michael F.

Posted on | by iso_METriC-876_1

Researcher profile

Dr. Summers is Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He received his PhD in bio-inorganic chemistry from Emory University and his postdoctoral training in NMR at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. His laboratory has developed NMR methods that enable structural studies of large RNAs and protein-RNA complexes, which has led to foundational insights into the mechanisms used by HIV-1 and other retroviruses to selectively package their RNA genomes during virus assembly.

Otting, Gottfried

Posted on | by iso_METriC-876_1

Researcher profile

Gottfried Otting did his PhD in the group of Prof. Wüthrich, was appointed professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1992 and joined the Australian National University in Canberra in 2002. His research focuses on new and straightforward ways in which NMR can be used to test predictions of protein structure and protein interactions. The work includes genetically encoded non-canonical amino acids, either as site-specific probes for 1H or 19F NMR, or as handles for reaction with paramagnetic tags.

Researcher profile

Yangmee Kim is a Professor at Konkuk University, South Korea. She earned her Ph.D. in Prof. James Prestegard’s group at Yale University in 1990. Her research focuses on elucidating the virulence mechanisms of multidrug-resistant bacteria by investigating the structure and dynamics of proteins involved in fatty acid synthesis and aryl polyene biosynthesis using NMR and MD simulations. She also develops potent peptide antibiotics based on structure-activity relationships, with one candidate having successfully completed Phase I clinical trials for sepsis.

Fawzi, Nicolas

Posted on | by iso_METriC-876_1

Researcher profile

The major focus of Nicolas Lux Fawzi’s work is directly visualizing the structural biology of protein phase separation in RNA-binding proteins in biomolecular condensates. At Brown University since 2013, his team has created tools for observing the structure and contacts of RNAs and proteins that hold together liquid-like assemblies. He has also used NMR to elucidate the connection between disease-associated mutations in RNA-binding proteins and the mechanistic biophysical changes that cause neurodegeneration.

Researcher profile

Silvia Cavagnero is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is also Associate Director of the UW-Madison Biophysics Program and Co-Director of the NIH -32 Molecular Biophysics Training Grant. She received her PhD at CALTECH and did her postdoc at the Scripps Research Institute. Her work targets the early stages of protein folding and aggregation in the cell, including the role of the ribosome and molecular chaperones. She also pioneers novel optically-enhanced approaches to NMR hyperpolarization.
