Funded Researchers
Peter Dedon
- Underwood Prescott Professor and the Singapore Professor
- Department of Biological Engineering
Building on MD-PhD training in cancer pharmacology, Pete Dedon’s research program applies chemical approaches to understanding nucleic acid biology. Dedon is currently the Underwood Prescott Professor and the Singapore Professor in the MIT Department of Biological Engineering and the lead principal investigator in the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Antimicrobial Drug Resistance Program (SMART). Over the last three decades, his research group has developed a variety of analytical and informatic platforms for discovery and quantitative analysis of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanisms in infectious diseases, cancer, and most recently neurodegenerative diseases. He now applies these mechanisms to protein manufacturing.
