Biography
Harvard Medical School
Joe Loparo received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Case Western Reserve University. As a graduate student in chemistry at MIT he worked with Andrei Tokmakoff where he developed novel multidimensional infrared spectroscopies to study the hydrogen bond dynamics of water.
Upon completion of his Ph. D., Joe moved to Harvard Medical School where he was a Jane Coffin Childs postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Antoine van Oijen. While there Joe used single-molecule approaches to study the dynamics of the replisome, the multi-protein machinery that carries out DNA replication.
Joe started his own laboratory in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at HMS in July of 2010. The Loparo lab develops and applies single-molecule approaches to study how cells maintain their genetic information.
