Biography

Domnita Rusnac is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on drug discovery, particularly within the ubiquitin proteasome system and protein structure. She is engaged in developing innovative therapeutics that target the ubiquitin proteasome system for the degradation of proteins associated with human diseases. With a strong emphasis on high-throughput screening assays, Domnita aims to identify small molecule compounds that can induce polyubiquitination and degradation of disease-related proteins. Her work not only characterizes the structures of newly identified human ubiquitin ligases but also investigates their role in protein quality control and signaling pathways, contributing valuable insights to therapeutic development.
