Dr. David Rueda

Biography

David Rueda is a Professor at Imperial College London since 2012. Before this, he served as Associate Professor and Assistant Professor at Wayne State University from 2011 to 2012 and 2005 to 2011, respectively. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan in the Department of Chemistry from 2001 to 2005. He obtained his Doctorate ès Sciences from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in 2001 after completing his Dipl. Chem. Eng. at the same institution in 1997. Rueda's research focuses on single-molecule imaging approaches to study how structural dynamics regulate fundamental biological processes involving proteins and nucleic acids, particularly in the context of DNA/RNA processing, chromatin structure remodeling, and DNA replication and repair. His work utilizes single-molecule microscopies to observe reaction intermediates directly, providing insights that are often obscured in traditional ensemble-averaged experiments.
