New Chemical Strategies to Unravel Elusive Post-Translational Modifications: a QBI seminar with Rebecca Scheck

Wednesday, February 3, 2021 - 11:00 am to 12:00 pm

The QBI online seminar series presents Rebecca Scheck, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tufts University. She performed her graduate work with Prof. Matthew Francis at UC Berkeley, where she developed chemistry to modify proteins under mild conditions. In her postdoctoral work at Yale University with Prof. Alanna Schepartz, she applied a chemical tool to study the differential activation of a cell surface receptor in living cells.
