Francesca Massi, PhD

Associate Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biotechnology; Director of the Massachusetts NMR Consortium

Research Focus: The Massi lab uses their expertise in NMR Spectroscopy to investigate protein allosteric regulation and characterize protein-RNA interactions.

Scientific Training: Francesca Massi received her Ph.D. in Chemistry under the mentorship of John E. Straub at Boston University and completed her postdoctoral fellowship with Arthur G. Palmer at Columbia University. Her research interests center on protein function and dynamics, studied using NMR spin relaxation experiments and computer simulations. Currently, her laboratory focuses on characterizing the structure, dynamics, and function of RNA-binding proteins and proteins implicated in neurodegeneration.
