Craig Crews is the John C. Malone Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University, where he has been a faculty member since 1995. He is also a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacology. Crews' research focuses on the development of innovative technologies in pharmaceuticals, particularly through the use of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs). His laboratory is at the forefront of utilizing controlled proteolysis to overcome the limitations of traditional enzyme inhibition methods. With a successful track record of employing heterobifunctional molecules to target the cellular quality control machinery, Crews has demonstrated the applicability of PROTAC technology across various protein targets, including kinases and transcription factors. His contributions to the field have been recognized through numerous awards and honors, including the Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, among others. Additionally, he has served as an editor for 'Cell Chemical Biology' and continues to influence medicinal chemistry and cancer research significantly.
