Biography

Allan Drummond is an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His group studies how cells respond to stress at the molecular level, focusing on the formation and dissolution of large assemblies of proteins and RNA during thermal stress. Drummond's laboratory employs a diverse range of techniques, including in vivo imaging, in vitro reconstitution, mechanistic biochemistry, quantitative proteomics, and molecular evolutionary analyses. The research in his lab highlights stress-triggered assembly processes that are shared among eukaryotes, particularly utilizing the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model organism.
