Biography

Seychelle M. Vos is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Department of Biology. Her research delves into the complex relationship between genome organization and gene expression, focusing on how these processes are physically coupled at molecular scales. Vos's work employs a wide array of techniques, including single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, to investigate the large molecular machineries that play critical roles in organizing the genome and regulating gene transcription. By employing a combination of biochemistry and genetics, her research aims to elucidate the mechanistic underpinnings of molecular assemblies that govern cellular function and ultimately influence cell fate and identity. Vos has received recognition for her innovative research, including the New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health in 2021.
