Eric C Schirmer
PeerJ Editor
Summary
Eric Schirmer received his PhD from the University of Chicago where he studied the HSP100 family of chaperones and their interactions with prions. His post-doctoral research at the Scripps Research Institute focused on assembly of the nuclear lamina and proteomics of nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins. Since establishing his laboratory at the University of Edinburgh he has been investigating tissue-specific differences in the nuclear envelope proteome and the functions of these proteins in tissue-specific patterns of spatial genome and cytoskeletal organization, along with studies of lamin structure, nuclear size regulation and herpesvirus egress through the nuclear membranes.
