Georgios Skiniotis

Georgios Skiniotis is a Professor at Stanford University, holding joint appointments in Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Structural Biology, and Photon Science. His research focuses on resolving structural and mechanistic questions in cellular physiology using cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) combined with biochemistry, biophysics, and simulation methods. The Skiniotis laboratory investigates cell surface receptors involved in intracellular signaling, particularly cytokine receptors and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) complexes.
