Eliezer Calo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at MIT. He conducts research on how cells build ribosomes, particularly focusing on the dysfunction of ribosome biogenesis. His work has significant implications, as dysfunction in this process can lead to tissue-specific developmental disorders and cancer. Calo's research interests include examining the molecular entities that control RNA metabolism, which encompasses a range of processes involved in RNA, protein synthesis, processing, modifications, export, translation, and degradation. His ultimate goal is to understand the aspects of RNA metabolism that are regulated at the structural and functional levels and how mutations in components of the RNA metabolic program can lead to congenital disorders and cancer.
