Weizmann Institute of Science
Gabe Javitt PhD graduated from the lab of Professor Deborah Fass at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the department of chemical and structural biology. He worked on the assembly mechanism of von Willebrand factor and the homologous mucin family of proteins. He uses cryo-electron microscopy and x-ray crystallography to solve the structure of these proteins, and combines it with biochemistry to understand their disulfide mediated polymerization mechanisms triggered by acidic pH and calcium concentration.
