Dr. Alisa Glukhova is a laboratory head at the Structural Biology Division at WEHI. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Biology in 2014 from the University of Michigan, where she worked on solving structures of lipid-modifying enzymes. During her postdoctoral training at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, she used X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and pharmacology to study G protein-coupled receptors. Since joining WEHI in 2020, Alisa has focused on understanding the structural and biochemical aspects of the Wnt signalling pathway, an important pharmacological target for treating many cancers. Dr. Glukhova is a Snow Medical, CSL Centenary and NHMRC Fellow.
