Kenneth J. Breslauer
Linus C. Pauling Distinguished University Professor
Research Synopsis: Enabled by an outstanding group of colleagues, Breslauer’s Lab pursues several interrelated biophysical research programs. Collectively, these programs focus on characterizing the intra- and intermolecular forces that modulate the regulation and dysregulation of biological processes crucial to human health. Deciphering this language used in molecular communications is essential for the rational deign of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
