Biography
Andrei A. Korostelev is passionate about mechanisms of translation regulation. He received Ph.D. in Michael S. Chapman laboratory at Florida State University in 2003 and performed postdoctoral studies with Harry F. Noller in 2004-2010. The Korostelev laboratory at the RNA Therapeutics Institute uses recent advances in biochemical and structural methods to elucidate detailed mechanisms that govern translation and regulation of translation under stress conditions or during disease. Recent work revealed high-resolution “frames” of the motions that the translational machinery undergoes during bacterial stress responses (including the stringent response) and viral infection, as summarized on the laboratory web site: http://labs.umassmed.edu/korostelevlab/research.htm
