Biophysics of Rna-Protein Interactions: A Mechanistic View (Biological and Medical Physics)

About the Author

Dr. David Rueda is a Professor at Imperial College. He is Chair of Molecular and Cellular Medicine. His research in the Rueda lab involves the development of quantitative single-molecule approaches to investigate the mechanism of complex biochemical systems (incl. RNA, DNA and protein). Previously, Dr. Rueda was an Assistant Professor at Wayne State University. He received his Docteur ès Sciences from EPF Lausanne in 2001, and his Dipl. Chem. Eng. from EPF Lausanne in 1997.Dr. Chirlmin Joo studied physics at Seoul National University in Korea. He obtained his PhD in physics under the supervision of Taekjip Ha at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. In 2011, he started his faculty position in Department of Bionanoscience at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. He developed the first single-molecule pull-down technique (the reconstitution of functional protein complexes at the single-molecule level). In 2018, Dr. Joo was appointed Director of Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft. He is the co-founder of a startup company, Bluemics.
