Juli Feigon is a Distinguished Professor in the Biochemistry, Molecular Structural Biology (BMSB) Graduate Program at UCLA. She received her B.A. from Occidental College and both her M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, where she studied under Dr. David Kearns. Her postdoctoral work was completed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Cancer Fund Postdoctoral Fellow under Dr. Alex Rich. Feigon has been a faculty member at UCLA since 1985 and specializes in biophysics, structural computational biology, and systems biology. Her research focuses on nucleic acid structure and function, particularly the role of RNA in regulation, transcription, translation, and ribonucleoprotein complexes. She employs multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other structural techniques like X-ray crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy to investigate macromolecular structures and dynamics. Her laboratory currently studies telomerase structure, H/ACA RNP biogenesis, and riboswitch dynamics.
