Biography

Steven P. Gygi is a professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on the emerging field of proteomics, utilizing mass spectrometry as a crucial tool for identifying, characterizing, and quantifying protein-level differences in cells and tissues. His laboratory is dedicated to the development and application of methods for global phosphorylation analysis and quantification, with a recent project identifying 2,002 phosphorylation sites across 900 proteins isolated from HeLa cell nuclei. Gygi's work also explores cell cycle-specific phosphorylation events and aims to develop technologies to study protein ubiquitination, a common post-translational modification. His lab leverages bioinformatics to support large-scale proteomic experiments, pushing the boundaries of traditional genetic and biochemical approaches.
