Bio:

Taylor received his BS degree from Fort Lewis College in Durango CO and his PhD from the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Taylor was an HHMI-sponsored postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Nobel Laureate Dr. Joachim Frank, where he learned cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and its application in structure determination of biological complexes. Dr. Taylor then spent a year working with Dr. Tom Cech (another Nobel Laureate) and his group where he began to investigate the structure and function of telomere complexes. Dr. Taylor began his independent position in 2009 when he joined the Department of Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Taylor has been recognized with a Research Scholar Award from the American Cancer Society and a prestigious Director’s New Innovator Award from the NIH.
