Valentin Rybenkov
Valentin V. Rybenkov received his Ph.D. in biophysics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1992 and then learned biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow. His early work on DNA structure gradually progressed to the global folding of the chromosomes and molecular motors that control it. His studies revealed several key principles behind chromosome packing and segregation, led to the discovery of a new family of chromosome packing enzymes, and produced therapeutically promising small molecule inhibitors of chromosome organization. He later constructed a mathematical model of drug accumulation in bacteria. He continues his work on chromosome dynamics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is engaged in machine learning studies of small molecule penetration into Gram-negative bacteria.
