Dr. Dr. Matthew Kraushar
Curriculum Vitae
Matt majored in neuroscience during his undergraduate at Columbia University, where he worked in the lab of Brian McCabe on mRNA splicing at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, and later with Chris Henderson on Spinal Muscular Atrophy in embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons. He then completed the Rutgers-Princeton Universities dual MD/PhD Program. His PhD in the lab of Mladen-Roko Rasin at Rutgers focused on RNA-binding proteins and ribosome regulation in neurodevelopment. He pursued postdoctoral training in the structural biophysics lab of Christian Spahn at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin as an EMBO Fellow, solving the structure of brain ribosomes with cryogenic electron microscopy. Matt started his lab at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in 2021, where his team combines neuroscience, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and biophysics to shed light on nature’s grey matters.
