Nicholas Bellono

Nicholas Bellono is a Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) at Harvard University. He studied cell physiology at Brown University between 2011 and 2015 and pursued postdoctoral training in sensory biology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from 2015 to 2018. The Bellono Lab studies how organisms adapt to their ecological or behavioral niche. They emphasize a curiosity-based approach in which specialized, unconventional systems are exploited to reveal fundamental concepts of signal transduction, ion channel biophysics, and evolution. They then aim to understand how these molecular mechanisms impact organismal physiology and behavior. Professor Bellono has received several awards including an Alfred P. Sloan fellowship and the New York Stem Cell Foundation's 2019 Robertson Investigator Award. To learn more visit here.
