Summary
Daniel Keedy is an Associate Professor and structural biochemist who leads the Keedy Lab at CUNY/Advanced Science Research Center, developing experimental and computational methods to control protein conformations underlying allostery, ligand binding, and catalysis. With a Ph.D. from Duke and a decade-plus trajectory from postdoctoral work at UCSF to faculty leadership, he applies interdisciplinary approaches to modulate therapeutic targets like tyrosine phosphatases through both small molecules and protein engineering. His work bridges detailed biophysical experiments and computational modeling, revealing evolutionary mechanisms that generate functional diversity in the human proteome. Known for combining rigorous structural validation with creative design collaborations, he brings uncommon fluency across wet lab and in silico techniques. Based in New York, he directs a lab that translates mechanistic insight into actionable strategies for drug discovery and protein engineering.
