Biography

Suparna Sanyal is a molecular structural biologist specializing in cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM). Her research primarily focuses on exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying protein synthesis and folding in both bacteria and eukaryotes, with a particular emphasis on ribosome function, translation factors, and the implications of antibiotic resistance and prion diseases. Sanyal's work includes the successful reconstitution of bacterial (including Escherichia coli and Mycobacteria) and eukaryotic (human) translation systems in vitro. She has engineered His-tagged ribosomes that enable detailed studies of protein synthesis mechanisms and RNA biology, contributing to the understanding of ribosomopathy and the development of potential therapeutics.
