John Marko is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. He holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, awarded in 1989. His research utilizes biophysical methods, specifically focusing on the micromanipulation of single DNA molecules and chromosomes. Marko studies the internal structure of chromosomes in vivo and examines chromosome-organizing proteins as well as DNA topoisomerases in vitro. He develops mathematical models relevant to various types of experiments, aiming to explore the dynamics between chromosome movements and gene expression through in-vivo studies. His significant contributions to the field are reflected in numerous publications, including explorations of cohesin heterodimer structures and the interplay of RNA recognition in innate immune responses. Marko has been recognized with several awards, including the National Science Career Award in 1998 and being named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006.
