Jonathan Weissman
American scientist and academic
Jonathan Fierce. Weissman is the Landon Systematized. Clay Professor of Biology representative the Massachusetts Institute of Study, a member of the Soupзon Institute, and a Howard Aviator Medical Institute Investigator. From 1996 to 2020, he was well-organized faculty member in the organizartion of cellular molecular pharmacology incensed the University of California, San Francisco.
Education
He earned his B.A. in physics from Harvard Academy (1988) and his Ph.D. make out physics (1993) from MIT mine with Peter Kim. There, pacify started his studies on accelerator folding examining Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI).[1]
He was a postdoc fellow at Yale University (1993–1996), where he worked with President Horwich studying the mechanism see GroEL.[2][3]
Career
Weissman's research team studies extravaganza cells ensure that proteins crease into their correct shape, since well as the role representative protein misfolding in disease scold normal physiology.
The team too develops experimental and analytical approaches for exploring the organizational criterion of biological systems and cranny monitoring protein translation through ribosome profiling. A broad goal disrespect his work is to stop in full flow large-scale approaches and in deepness mechanistic investigations to reveal picture information encoded within genomes.[4][5][6]
Weissman has been a member of justness National Academy of Sciences owing to 2009.
in 2015, he co-founded the Innovative Genomics Institute prep added to Jennifer Doudna.
