Nikolai Skiba is an Associate Professor at Duke University's Department of Ophthalmology, focusing on mass spectrometry-based proteomics to study proteins in eye tissues and sub-cellular compartments. His research emphasizes understanding the mechanisms of vision, particularly identifying proteins in retinal photoreceptor cells and how their modifications vary under different light conditions, genotypes, and diseases. His work offers valuable insights into the molecular basis of vision and the biology of photoreceptor cells. Skiba collaborates with basic scientists and clinicians to meet the proteomic needs of the department, which includes identifying biomolecules in biological samples, detecting post-translational modifications, and elucidating protein-protein interactions. He has a rich academic background with extensive experience in various prestigious institutions.
