Nikolaus Grigorieff, Ph.D.

Nikolaus Grigorieff

Dr. Grigorieff is also Professor of Biochemistry at Brandeis University and Assistant in Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. He studied physics at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, and the University of Bristol, England, and received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics and semiconducting devices from the University of Bristol. He began working on membrane protein structure as a postdoctoral fellow with Richard Henderson at the Medical Research Council in Cambridge, England. His honors include fellowships from the German Academic Exchange Service, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Humboldt Foundation, and a New Investigator Award from the Medical Foundation.



RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:

Nikolaus Grigorieff uses electron microscopy to visualize the three-dimensional structure of large molecular complexes in cells. His aim is to understand how the individual components of these machines function and interact with one another.
