Nikola Panayot Pavletich is the former chair of structural biology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. [1]
Pavletich received his BS in chemistry from Caltech in 1988 and his PhD in molecular biology and genetics from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1991. [2] He did a postdoc at MIT with Carl Pabo.
He joined the faculty at Sloan Kettering in 1993 and was named chair of the Structural Biology Program in 2003. [3] He has been an HHMI investigator since 1997.
His laboratory researches malignant cell growth and DNA damage contributing to the development of cancer. DNA damage repair is a significant factor in whether a cell will become cancerous after genetic insult. Some of his major focuses have been the mTOR pathway and BRCA1. His lab uses x-ray crystallography to determine how proteins interact. [4] [3]
