Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering; HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar
Profile:
Rebecca performed her graduate work in Venki Ramakrishnan's lab at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), where she studied the molecular mechanism of protein synthesis using X-ray crystallography. For her postdoctoral studies, Rebecca joined Manu Hegde's lab, just down the hall in the LMB's Cell Biology division. In Manu's lab Rebecca used single particle cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to study how secreted and integral membrane proteins are specifically targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum.
