Albert Guskov

Albert Guskov is an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering, leading the Biomolecular X-ray Crystallography Lab. He holds an honorary professorship at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and has received numerous awards, including the Medal of Excellence (2021) and NWO VIDI Grant (2015). His research focuses on membrane transporters, protein translation in pathogenic fungi, and structural biology using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers with >3,800 citations.

• Education: PhD in Chemistry (Free University Berlin, 2009), Dipl. Chem. in Medicinal Chemistry (Summa cum laude).
• Research Interests: Structural characterization of SLC1 transporters, bacterial metallohomeostasis, and fungal ribosome mechanisms.

His lab has pioneered studies on the structural basis of episodic ataxia 6 and Candida albicans ribosome resistance to cycloheximide. He actively contributes to educational standards as Chair of the Biomolecular Sciences MSc Program Committee.
