Biography

Ted Jardetzky is a Professor in the Department of Structural Biology at Stanford University. He holds a Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from the University of Basel, Switzerland, obtained in 1986, and a B.S. in Chemistry from Stanford University, awarded in 1982. Jardetzky is recognized for his contributions to understanding the structural mechanisms of macromolecular complexes that are significant in viral pathogenesis and allergic hypersensitivities. His ongoing research focuses on the entry mechanisms of paramyxoviruses and herpesviruses, as well as the structure-function relationship of the IgE-receptor and TGF-beta ligand signaling pathways. He has held various prestigious awards including the Pew Scholar in Biomedical Sciences from the Pew Foundation, and has been a research scholar for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Jardetzky's laboratory aims to uncover innovative approaches to intervene in disease processes. His teaching portfolio includes a range of graduate courses in biophysics and immunology, and he serves as a doctoral advisor to multiple students in his department.
