John Kuriyan is the dean of basic sciences and a professor of biochemistry at
National Academy of Sciences[1] and he has also been on the Life Sciences jury for the Infosys Prize in 2009, 2019 and 2020.[3]
Education
Kuriyan received his B.S. in chemistry from Juniata College in Pennsylvania, followed by his PhD in physical chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology supervised by Gregory Petsko and Martin Karplus.[4]
Research and career
 | This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (May 2022) |
Kuriyan did
Harvard before becoming an assistant professor at the Rockefeller University. As of 2015[update] Kuriyan's laboratory studies the structure and mechanism of enzymes and other proteins that transduce cellular signals and perform DNA replication. The laboratory primarily uses x-ray crystallography
to determine 3-D protein structures as well as biochemical, biophysical, and computational techniques to uncover the mechanisms used by these proteins.
Awards and honors
In 1989, Kuriyan was named a
Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 2015.[2]
He was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2018.[7]
