Biography
Dr. Grishin is HHMI Investigator and Professor of Biochemistry at UT Southwestern. Born and educated in Russia, he received a Diplom (the Russian equivalent of a master’s degree) in biochemistry from the Moscow State University. His doctoral research in molecular biophysics was done with Margaret Phillips at UT Southwestern. After a postdoctoral year with Eugene Koonin at the National Institutes of Health, he joined the faculty at UT Southwestern.
