Biography

Alfonso Mondragon is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Cambridge University in 1985. His laboratory focuses on understanding the relationship between atomic structure and biological function in important proteins and nucleic acids. Traditional structural work has aimed at obtaining atomic pictures of biological macromolecules, but to understand their dynamic functions, a convergence of approaches is required to provide complementary perspectives across different timescales. His research combines various structural methods with a wide range of biophysical and biochemical techniques to elucidate the workings of these ubiquitous molecules within the cell.
