About me
The research scientist, Douglas Rosenthal conducts research studies of the molecules that form cells and pathogens. He focuses on how pathogens infect and cause disease by producing virulence factors that target host cell molecules.
His studies, which have contributed to the understanding of the cytoskeleton, organelles and membrane-trafficking intermediates, signal transduction pathways, cell cycle regulators, the organelle/protein recycling machinery, and cell-death pathways, have been featured in many noted science journals. Also, cellular pathways crucial for the immune response have been revealed with his studies. Most of the discoveries from the studies of Doug Rosenthal have been translated into the development of host-targeted therapies to treat infectious diseases.
Rosenthal uses pictures of cells from high-powered microscopes when conducting his studies. These photos show the complexity of the world of the cells and also the microbes that affect them. He also relies on molecular structures from electron microscopy (EM), x-ray crystallography, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Furthermore, Rosenthal authored two books: Atomic Evidence and The Body’s Motors.
This scientist was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended the Case Western Reserve University and received Bachelor’s, Masters’s and PhD Degree in Structural Biotechnology.
Rosenthal is a member of Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology (CCMSB), since 2015.
His experience in the field of structural biology is over 20 years long.

- Structural BiologyProteins exert most of the activities that occur in cells. It has long been known that the form (the three-dimensional structure) of each protein is closely related to its function, so knowing that form is very important to understand in the best possible way such function and to eventually modify it for biomedical reasons. or biotechnological. The branch of molecular biology that studies the shape of proteins is called structural biology and although minor in quantitative terms when compared to
