Ronen Marmorstein is George W. Raiziss Professor at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on biochemical and biophysical approaches to understand key molecular mechanisms involved in age-associated diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Marmorstein's laboratory utilizes X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate protein structures and functions. He is particularly interested in protein acetylation and its role in metabolic regulation, investigating how enzymes modify histones and contribute to epigenetic changes in cells. His work also examines the molecular connections between metabolism and gene expression regulation. Marmorstein's lab employs a broad range of biophysical techniques and structure-based drug design approaches to develop small-molecule inhibitors that target specific proteins involved in these pathways. He encourages students to engage with innovative techniques such as high-throughput screening and enzymology in their research.
