Dr. Ekaterina Vinogradova is an Assistant Professor at Rockefeller University and Head of Laboratory of Chemical Immunology and Proteomics. Her group develops and applies innovative chemical proteomic profiling technologies, with the aim to enrich our understanding of the molecular differences between pathologic and physiologic states in immune cells and cells of the nervous system and how those differences can be further leveraged from a pharmacological perspective for the development of new therapies that not only target specific immune cell subtypes, but also the defined activation states of these cells. Dr. Vinogradova obtained her M.Sc. in chemistry from the Higher Chemical College of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
