Silvi Rouskin is a molecular biologist and Assistant Professor of Microbiology at Harvard Medical School..[1] Her research focuses on RNA, RNA alternative 2 and 3-dimensional structures, and alternative splicing of RNA.[2] Rouskin is well known for developing the DMS-MaPseq and DREEM methods, and for modeling the secondary structure of SARS-CoV-2 [3] [4] [5]
Early life and education
Rouskin was born in People's Republic of Bulgaria. Her parents were rock musicians, who made most of their career in Norway. Rouskin was raised by her grandparents until age six. As the Bulgarian communist regime collapsed in 1991, she moved to the state of Idaho in 1998 for her high-school junior year, as part of a student exchange program with the USA. [6]
At 16 years old, Rouskin passed the General Educational Development and enrolled in the Florida Institute of Technology as a freshman, where she obtained a BS in Physics.
After being a technical assistant at Joe DeRisi's lab, Rouskin completed her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2014 at UCSF School of Medicine.[7]
Career
In 2015, Rouskin became a Whitehead Fellow at the Whitehead Institute, a non-profit institute located in Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[8]
She is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School since 2021.[9]
Selected awards
- 2021 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science [7]
- 2024 Pew Biomedical Scholar[13]
