About the Company
- Ribosomes are molecular machines that catalyze protein synthesis in all cells.
- The lab is interested in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic ribosome assembly.
- The lab studies the initial events of this process by using a multidisciplinary approach that combines structural biology (X-ray crystallography and cry-EM) with biochemical, genetic, and cell biology techniques.
- Structural and functional studies of early ribosome assembly intermediates are complemented by the biochemical characterization of multi-protein complexes.
Equal Opportunity
- The Rockefeller University is an equal opportunity employer – veterans/individuals with disabilities.
- Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to characteristics protected by applicable local, state or federal law, including but not limited to disability and protected veteran status.
