Brian Crane serves as the George W. and Grace L. Todd Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the structural and mechanistic aspects of protein systems involved in biological signal transduction.
- PhD, The Scripps Research Institute
- BSc, University of Manitoba
Crane's academic interests center on biophysical and chemical biology approaches to understanding:
- Protein electron transfer reactions
- Photochemical processes in biological systems
- Nitric oxide signaling and enzymology
- Redox-dependent signal transduction
- Macromolecular assembly dynamics
His work spans circadian clock light sensors, bacterial transmembrane signaling, and nitric oxide-mediated stress responses, utilizing advanced methodologies like cryo-electron microscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and macromolecular crystallography. Crane has contributed to high-impact publications in journals including Science, Nature, and Cell.
