Brian Chait, D.Phil., is the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Professor at the Rockefeller University in New York and head of the Laboratory for Mass Spectrometry and Gaseous Ion Chemistry. He specializes in the development and use of mass spectrometry as a tool for investigating a variety of biological and biochemical phenomena.
Michael Rout, Ph.D., is the George and Ruby deStevens Professor at the Rockefeller University and head of the Laboratory of Cellular and Structural Biology. He uses biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches to characterize macromolecular assemblies, with an emphasis on the nuclear pore complex, a key part of the pathway that relays information between the nucleus and cytoplasm. His goal is to further develop proteomic technologies that will enable the community to assemble detailed, dynamic representations of the interactions in the cell.
