Charles Craik, PhD profile page

Professor Charles Craik is a Principal Investigator at UCSF whose research focuses on defining the roles and the mechanisms of enzymes and other challenging proteins in complex biological processes and on developing technologies to facilitate these studies. A particular emphasis of the work in the Craik lab is on identifying the roles and regulating the activity of proteases and degradative enzyme complexes associated with infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. They are also developing novel methods to biophysically characterize challenging proteins as well as their complexes.
