السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Prasanna R Kolatkar graduated in structural biology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991. He has worked in the Michael Rossmann laboratory at Purdue University focusing on virus-receptor relationships. Dr. Kolatkar was also awarded the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund fellowship by Purdue University. He has experience working at the Bioinformatics Center, Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, and Genome Institute of Singapore.

Dr. Kolatkar's current research involves understanding the molecular details of transcription factor (TF) complexes associated with stem cell biology with pancreatic development. His laboratory employs biochemistry and structural biology to discover how TFs generate function through combinatorial interactions.
