"Mark W. Hochstrasser"
Bio:

Mark Hochstrasser received his bachelor’s degree in 1981 from Rutgers University, where he majored in biochemistry. For his Ph.D. studies, he worked with Dr. John Sedat at the University of California, San Francisco on the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes. He did postdoctoral research with Dr. Alexander Varshavsky at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he began studying mechanisms of intracellular protein degradation. In 1990 he took a faculty position at the University of Chicago. Since 2000, he has been a professor at Yale University, and in 2008 he was named the Eugene Higgins Professor of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry. Research in the Hochstrasser lab centers on biochemical and genetic studies of the ubiquitin-proteasome system of protein degradation and related ubiquitin-like protein modification pathways, particularly the SUMO system.
