Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Wang is a postdoctoral scientist based in Berkeley with a decade of experience probing biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of protein–RNA interactions. Trained at Yale and MIT/Whitehead in structural and computational approaches, he solved the cryo-EM structure of human AGO2 in its active conformation and quantified the sequence and biophysical rules governing RNAi targeting. He combines wet-lab innovation—developing in situ RNA structure chemistry—with computational methods, including statistical correction algorithms and deep-learning-guided structural screens. Active in the RNA community, he has presented work globally at major symposia and brings a rare blend of structural, quantitative, and coding fluency that enables mechanistic insight and scalable analysis pipelines.
