George P. Lisi
Principal Investigator Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry George is a native of New England, receiving his undergraduate education at Fairfield University (2009) and Ph.D. at Dartmouth (2014) under the direction of Dean E. Wilcox and Ekaterina Pletneva. His graduate studies focused on the thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of zinc- and iron-containing enzymes. George was a postdoctoral fellow in biochemistry and biophysics at Yale University (2014 - 2018) under the mentorship of Pat Loria, studying enzyme structure, dynamics and allosteric regulation by NMR. He joined the Brown faculty in September 2018, where his group studies the chemistry and structural biology of enzyme complexes. |
Kyle East - Postdoc - Kyle received B.S. degrees in chemistry and biology from UC, Irvine and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Yale University, where he was an NIH NRSA graduate research fellow and studied the structure, dynamics, and regulation of DNA polymerases.
Erin Skeens - Research Associate - Erin received a B.S. in biology from Tufts University and prior to joining the lab, she studied immune checkpoint regulators at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Helen Belato - Graduate Student - Helen received a B.S. in molecular & cell biology from the University of Connecticut and is an MPP Ph.D. student investigating the allosteric pathways within Cas9. She received an NIH T32 training award in Pharmacological Sciences.
Emily Chen - Graduate Student - Emily received a B.S. in biochemistry from Brandeis University. She is currently a Ph.D. student in the MCB program studying the structural basis of MIF-2 in disease. She received an NIH T32 training award in Respiratory Research.
Jennifer Cui - Graduate Student - Jenn received a B.S. in biochemistry from Queen's University and M.S. from McMaster University, while also conducting research at the University of Ottawa, the Matrix Biology Institute, and Harvard Medical School. She joined the MCB Ph.D. program in 2019 and is investigating the structure, dynamics, and function of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) in solution.
Samuel Croes - Undergraduate - Sam is concentrating in biochemistry at Brown and received a 2019 UTRA award for his studies on Cas9 allostery.
Nadia Goldberg - Undergraduate - Nadia is a rising junior at Brown, concentrating in Biochemistry and studying the molecular mechanisms of MIF in disease.
