Dr. Hashim Al-Hashimi is James B. Duke Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at Duke University School of Medicine and is the Director of the Duke Center for RNA Biology.  He received his doctorate in Biophysical Chemistry from Yale University, where he developed novel NMR methods to study the structure and dynamics of proteins. He then developed and applied NMR methodology to study the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids as a postdoctoral fellow at the Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center.  In 2002, he started his own lab in the Department of Chemistry and Biophysics at the University of Michigan, and in 2014, Dr. Al-Hashimi moved to Duke University. He is the recipient of several awards and honors including the Founder’s Medal in NMR Spectroscopy, the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science, and the Agilent Thought Leader award.  Most recently, he was awarded the prestigious 2020 National Academy of Sciences Award in Molecular Biology.  His laboratory focuses on understanding RNA folding and dynamics, and applying these findings to enable the design of new RNA targeting ligands in drug discovery applications.
