Biography

Sathish Ramakrishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at Yale School of Medicine. His research laboratory focuses on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the function of fusion proteins, which mediate a wide range of cellular processes, including hormone and neurotransmitter release, cell growth, and cancer signaling. Working alongside colleagues, Dr. Ramakrishnan quantitatively dissects the roles of SNARE proteins and their regulators in both normal and diseased conditions by employing engineered suspended lipid bilayer platforms and advanced single-molecule imaging techniques. His insights into the key players involved in exocytosis are pivotal for therapeutic discovery aimed at elucidating critical proteins in signaling pathways to block disease progression.
