William Hancock is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, where he also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on various aspects of bioengineering, particularly in the study of kinesin molecular motors and their roles in cellular transport mechanisms. His lab employs advanced techniques such as single-molecule microscopy and stopped-flow transient kinetics assays to investigate the mechanochemical behavior of motor proteins and their interactions with microtubules. He explores how defects in these transport processes are linked to neurodegenerative disorders. Hancock's interdisciplinary approach integrates concepts from biophysics, biochemistry, and cell biology, contributing to the understanding of molecular mechanisms essential for developing efficient bioethanol production and other applications in cellular engineering.
