TEAM
Rosalie Lawrence
Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Chemistry
Rosalie (she/her) received her B.A. from Swarthmore College, and completed her PhD at UC Berkeley, identifying mechanisms of cellular nutrient signaling by the mTORC1 pathway. During her postdoc at UCSF, she became fascinated by the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), and identified the allosteric mechanism that activates the ISR. She is excited by interdisciplinary research that combines tools from cell biology, structural biology, and neuroscience, and is motivated by mentoring and training the next generation. When not in the lab, you’ll probably find Rosalie swimming in one of the beautiful pools on UCLA’s campus, or cooking delicious food to refuel her metabolism.
Tamara Nadjsombati
Staff Research Associate
Tamara (she/her) grew up in Southern California and received her B.S. in Biochemistry with a minor in Bioinformatics from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. During her time at Cal Poly, she researched protein interactions, characterizing the thermodynamics of protein-nucleic acid binding for multiple antibiotic resistance regulator (MarR) proteins. She is interested in computational biology and protein chemistry and is excited about research that combines experimental and computational approaches to study molecular interactions. When she’s not in the lab, she enjoys soaking up the sun on a run, skiing in the winter and exploring new coffee shops.
