Randy Schekman is a world leader in cell biology, having discovered numerous fundamental processes of membrane assembly and trafficking in eukaryotic cells. He was a discoverer of the Sec family of proteins involved in vesicular trafficking, findings that have widespread implications for human health and disease. His transformative work on membrane movement and secretion led him to win the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, jointly awarded with James Rothman and Thomas C. Südhof. To this day, Schekman continues to be a trail blazer in the field of membrane biology.
BMB seminars are open to the Johns Hopkins community.
