Eva Nogales, Ph.D.

Nogales is an MCB professor at the University of California, Berkeley, a senior faculty scientist at LBNL and an HHMI Investigator. She obtained her B.S. in physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain and her Ph.D. in biophysics from Keele University in England. As a postdoctoral researcher with Ken Downing at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), she determined the structure of tubulin using electron crystallography. Her current work utilizes cryo-EM to visualize the macromolecular architecture, functional states and regulatory interactions in the study of gene expression and the microtubule cytoskeleton. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a foreign member of the European Molecular Biology Organization, the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of London.
