David Taylor is a structural biologist at The University of Texas at Austin, where he is an Assistant Professor[1] and CPRIT Scholar[2][3][4] in the College of Natural Sciences.[5]
As an undergraduate at Syracuse University, he was named a Barry Goldwater Scholar[6]. His graduate work with Hongwei Wang uncovered details behind the mechanism of Dicer, an enzyme that processes RNA transcripts into mature microRNA.[7] As a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, he studied how CRISPR complexes[8][9] and Cas9[10][11][12][13] function by studying their structures using cryo-EM with Jennifer Doudna and Eva Nogales.[14][15][16]
In 2016, he moved to The University of Texas at Austin to begin his faculty career.
Taylor currently studies CRISPR complexes, bacterial machines that target viral nucleic acid for destruction and are used for gene-editing applications, and methods development for cryo-electron microscopy.[17][18][19]
