Ben Luisi is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, focusing on riboregulation and the transport mechanisms involved in gene expression. His research aims to elucidate the complex multi-component assemblies that regulate messenger RNA (mRNA) fate through post-transcriptional mechanisms. Luisi's work includes the structural and biochemical studies of interactions between specific transcripts and non-coding regulatory RNAs, providing vital insights into targeted gene silencing. He has investigated transport proteins and their role in bacterial virulence and drug resistance. Using techniques like X-ray diffraction and cryo-electron microscopy, Luisi visualizes these assemblies at an atomic level, enhancing our understanding of molecular interactions. His research objectives include identifying RNA's function in controlling gene expression and understanding how transport assemblies operate in a coordinated manner.
