Nikola Pavletich

Nikola Panayot Pavletich is the chair of structural biology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.[1]

Education

Pavletich received his BS in chemistry from Caltech in 1988 and his PhD in molecular biology and genetics from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1991.[2] He did a postdoc at MIT with Carl Pabo.

Career

He joined the faculty at Sloan Kettering in 1993 and was named chair of the Structural Biology Program in 2003.[3] He has been an HHMI investigator since 1997.

His laboratory researches malignant cell growth and DNA damage contributing to the development of cancer. DNA damage repair is a significant factor in whether a cell will become cancerous after genetic insult. Some of his major focuses have been the mTOR pathway and BRCA1. His lab uses x-ray crystallography to determine how proteins interact.[4][3]

gollark: I should start scraping those or something. Drop analytics could be really interesting.

gollark: Alpine.

gollark: It was probably fish who caught it.

gollark: Obviously.

gollark: I have weird luck. 10 minutes ago, I missed a silver in the cave. 2 minutes ago, I caught a Magma, completing my set of CB Trios...
