Silvi Rouskin

Whitehead Fellow

MIT

Rouskin came to the United States as an exchange student from Bulgaria when she was 15 years old and tested out of high school by obtaining a GED. She then enrolled at Florida Institute of Technology and earned a bachelor's degree in physics. After graduation, Silvi worked as a research technician at University of California San Francisco (UCSF), using cutting-edge technology to detect and track viral infections. She stayed at UCSF for her PhD in the lab of Jonathan Weissman, where she developed new approaches to study RNA folding in physiological conditions and on a genome-wide scale. After she finished her PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology, Rouskin joined the Whitehead Institute as a principal investigator in 2015. Her lab studies the RNA structure and function of viruses including HIV-1 and SARS-Cov2.
