معرفی
Jeremy M. Baskin, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and the Weill Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on chemical biology approaches to study lipid signaling and membrane dynamics in human diseases. He previously completed postdoctoral work at Yale University and earned his PhD from UC Berkeley.
- Education
- PhD, University of California, Berkeley (Chemistry)
- Postdoc, Yale School of Medicine (Cell Biology)
- BS, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Chemistry)
Dr. Baskin develops bioorthogonal imaging tools and optogenetic membrane editors to study phosphatidic acid signaling in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cell signaling pathways. His lab's IMPACT and optoPLD technologies enable spatiotemporal control of lipid metabolism. Key methodologies include click chemistry, chemical proteomics, and directed evolution.
Recent publications in Chemical Reviews and Nature Cell Biology highlight his work on synthetic lipid biology and phosphorylation-controlled signaling. His 2025 awards include the Ono Pharma Breakthrough Science Initiative Award and ACS Chemical Biology Young Investigator Award. Collaborations span biochemistry, cell biology, and computational biology.
