Dr. Sergey Kryazhimskiy

Biography

Sergey Kryazhimskiy is an Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2008. Following his doctoral studies, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, during which he received the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface. His research interests focus on uncovering general principles of how mutations affect phenotypes at multiple levels of biological organization, including gene expression and metabolic fluxes. He approaches this problem using experimental model microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli, along with mathematical modeling to understand how these effects combine to determine an organism's fitness in various environments. He joined the Ecology, Behavior and Evolution faculty at UCSD in January 2016.
