Biography

Ronen Marmorstein is the George W. Raiziss Professor in the Biomedical Graduate Studies at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying post-translational protein acetylation and its impact on gene expression and metabolism, particularly in age-associated diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Utilizing advanced biochemical and biophysical techniques, including X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, his lab investigates the structural and functional relationships of proteins involved in chromatin regulation and metabolism. Marmorstein's work encompasses the study of protein acetyltransferases and their roles in cellular processes influenced by acetyl-CoA and other metabolites. He is dedicated to exploring the connections between metabolic pathways and epigenetic regulation, aiming to develop novel small-molecule inhibitors for therapeutic applications in various disorders.
