Nevan Krogan

Nevan Krogan is a Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), where he leads the Krogan Lab. His research focuses on developing systematic proteomic and genetic approaches to study complex biological problems in cancer, infectious diseases, and psychiatric disorders. He serves as Principal or Co-Principal Investigator on multiple NIH-funded grants, including programs on HIV, TB, and SARS-CoV-2.

Research Focus

Krogan's lab integrates proteomics, genetics, and systems biology to analyze:

• Host-pathogen interactions in HIV, Ebola, and coronaviruses
• Protein interaction networks in cancer systems biology
• Neurodegenerative mechanisms linked to apoE4 and tau
• CRISPR-based functional genomics in stem cells
• Antiviral therapeutic targets like Mac1 hydrolase

Scientific Awards
