Steven Crossley

Steven received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. In 2013, he began his Ph.D. work as an NSERC PGS D3 fellow with Prof. Ryan A. Shenvi at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. At Scripps, he developed alkene hydrofunctionalization methods with Mn and Co hydrides and synthesized picrotoxane natural products to enable investigation of GABAAR neurobiology. He is currently a Damon Runyon postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Christopher J. Chang at UC Berkeley and working to develop and apply chemical tools to problems in cancer, redox biology, and cellular signaling.
