Daniel Herschlag is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Chemical Engineering. His research integrates biology, chemistry, and physics to elucidate the fundamental physical and chemical properties of biomolecules, enabling insights into the constraints and evolution of biological systems. Herschlag specializes in the study of enzymes, RNA structure, and RNA/protein interactions, employing pioneering high-throughput quantitative methods to investigate molecular interactions at a genomic scale. His innovative approach includes the development of Quantitative Cellular Biochemistry (QCB), creating carefully designed libraries that facilitate the dissection of physical interactions vital for cellular functions. Herschlag's work has advanced our understanding of alternative pre-mRNA splicing and has implications for engineering biological systems in biomedical contexts.
