Anthony Milin, Ph.D.
Doctoral Thesis: Electrostatic regulation of liquid-liquid phase separation in biology
Undergraduate Institution: University of California, Berkeley
Noteworthy Publications: Reentrant Phase Transition Drives Dynamic Substructure Formation in Ribonucleoprotein Droplets, Angewandte Chemie International Edition (2017); Reentrant Phase Transitions and Non-Equilibrium Dynamics in Membraneless Organelles, Biochemistry (2018); Divalent cations can control a switch-like behavior in heterotypic and homotypic RNA coacervates, Scientific Reports (2019)
Honors & Awards: ARCS graduate fellowship (2020-2021); ARCS graduate fellowship (2019-2020); The Donald and Delia Baxter Fellowship (2016-2017); The Scripps Research Institute Dean’s Fellowship (2016-2017)
Favorite Aspects of Graduate Studies: "The structure and interdisciplinary nature of Scripps Research aided in my scientific growth by challenging me to expand outside my area of expertise as well as uniquely granting me glimpses into both the academic and industry research sectors."
Next Steps: "Post-graduation I will be joining Vertex Pharmaceuticals for their fellowship program, where I will be developing novel therapeutics critical to human health in their protein sciences department."
Be sure to join us at 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, May 21 for our Virtual Commencement Ceremony! Milin's advisor and mentor, Prof. Ashok Deniz, will deliver a few words about his graduate experience (as will Milin), and viewers can learn about our 41 other 2021 graduates, who are now setting out to build careers that will impact the future of biomedical research.
