Rebecca Voorhees is a Professor in the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). She is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Freeman Hrabowski Scholar. Dr. Voorhees obtained her B.S. from Yale University in 2007, followed by an M.Sc. in the same year, and later earned her Ph.D. from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 2011. Her academic career includes positions as a Visiting Associate at Caltech, an Assistant Professor, and leading to her current role as a Professor starting in 2025. Her research concerns molecular logic and protein homeostasis, specifically focusing on the synthesis and localization of membrane proteins in human cells. Dr. Voorhees utilizes an integrated approach that combines functional genomics, cell biology, biochemistry, and structural techniques to examine the processes governing protein sorting and localization, with the ultimate aim of understanding how these processes can be manipulated to treat human disease.
