Molecular mechanisms of muscle.   The Previs lab uses a combination of mass spectrometry-based proteomic strategies and state-of-the-art single molecule imaging techniques to characterize the structure and function of muscle protein complexes in health and disease.

BIO

Dr. Previs received his Ph.D. from the Cell and Molecular Biology Program at the University of Vermont in 2010, with research emphasis on the development of quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic techniques to examine muscle structure. Dr. Previs pursued his interest in muscle as a Post-doctoral Associate in the Molecular Physiology & Biophysics Department. In this role he developed single molecule assays to examine the molecular mechanics which underlie muscle function. In 2014, Dr. Previs was promoted to Assistant Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics and is now establishing his own independent research program.  In 2024, Dr. Previs was promoted to Associate Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics.
