Joel Rosenbaum

Research Assistant Professor

I received my Ph.D. in 2011 working with Dr. Rich Gardner at the University of Washington and my dissertation research described a novel form of protein quality control specific to the nucleus. For my postdoctoral studies, I worked with Dr. Rachel Klevit at the University of Washington using NMR spectroscopy to study the structure and interactions of small heat shock proteins. I continued his postdoctoral work in a collaboration between Dr. Kara Bernstein and Dr. Andy Vandemark at the University of Pittsburgh to characterize interactions between DNA repair pathways. In my current position, I use protein biochemistry and structural biology to heavy metal biology and ion channels.
