Speaker's Bio:
B.S., Temple University, Biochemistry (2007) Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2013) Postdoctoral fellow, Northwestern University, Molecular Biosciences (2017) Research Associate, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Hematology/Oncology (2018) Laura Dassama is a chemical biologist who uses principles from chemistry and physics to understand complex biological phenomena. Her group’s primary goal is to use detailed understanding of the factors that enable interactions between biological molecules to provide insights that allow functional control of those molecules. Her research projects aim to 1) discover the drivers of biomolecular interactions and 2) leverage that information to modulate disease relevant proteins.
