Stephen C. Harrison

Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Professor of Basic Medical Sciences
Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute

The overall objective of our research is to understand how protein interactions determine subcellular structure. We use direct structural approaches – principally X-ray crystallography, often in combination with electron microscopy – to determine the atomic organization of macromolecular complexes....
