Biography

Raymond C. Trievel is a Professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan Medical School. His research focuses on the structural and functional characterization of histone modifying enzymes, which play crucial roles in epigenetic regulation and host-pathogen interactions. His laboratory employs a combination of biochemical, structural biological, and computational approaches to elucidate the mechanisms of action of these enzymes and their implications in various biological processes. Dr. Trievel has made significant contributions to understanding the substrate specificities of human histone methyltransferases and demethylases. He also investigates the functions of these enzymes in bacterial pathogens, revealing insights into how they hijack host gene expression. His educational background includes a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and a BS from the University of Delaware. With research interests spanning epigenetics, enzymology, and microbiology, Dr. Trievel continues to explore the intricacies of molecular interactions and biological processes that govern health and disease.
