Eliezer Calo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on understanding how cells construct ribosomes and the implications of dysfunctional ribosome biogenesis, particularly concerning tissue-specific developmental disorders and cancer. He investigates the molecular entities that control and coordinate RNA metabolism. This research involves a compendium of processes that encompass RNA synthesis, processing, modifications, export, translation, and degradation. Calo aims to elucidate the aspects of RNA metabolism that are regulated, and how these processes can lead to structural and functional insights regarding mutations in components of the RNA metabolic program and their connection to congenital disorders and cancer.
