Benjamin Donovan, Ph.D.

RESEARCH SUMMARY

Ben Donovan is a post-doctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression at the National Cancer Institute. He graduated from The Ohio State University with a Ph.D. in Biophysics in 2019 where he used single-molecule approaches to probe the mechanisms by which transcription factors gain access to their sites in chromatin. As a member of Dan Larson’s Systems Biology of Gene Expression Group, he is studying the role of RNA binding proteins in the timing and location of spliceosome assembly.
