Ramanujan Shankar Hegde

Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB).[5][6]

Education

Hegde was educated at the University of Chicago[3] where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree[2][when?] and the University of California, San Francisco where he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 1999 and PhD in 1998 for research on protein targeting and translocation at the endoplasmic reticulum supervised by Vishwanath R. Lingappa.[3][1]

Research and career

Hegde's research[7] investigates how proteins are localised correctly inside cells, and how errors during protein maturation are recognised and disposed. These processes are important because the accumulation of abnormal proteins is disruptive to cell function, and underlies numerous diseases.[4]

His laboratory have discovered a widely conserved

neurodegeneration, and that cells have specialised pathways to identify these wayward proteins and target them for destruction.[4]

As of 2016[update], according to Google Scholar[9] his most cited research include papers published in Science,[10][11] Nature,[12] and Cell.[8] His research has been funded by the Medical Research Council.[13]
