Eranthie WeerapanaEranthie Weerapana is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Boston College. She received her B.S. in Chemistry from Yale University, and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where she worked with Professor Barbara Imperiali, investigating glycosyltransfrases involved in N-linked glycosylation in the gram negative bacterium Campylobacter jejuni. She then performed postdoctoral studies at The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla where she worked with Professor Benjamin F. Cravatt to develop chemical-proteomic methods to investigate reactive cysteines in complex proteomes. Her interdisciplinary research program focuses on applying mass-spectrometry methods to identify regulatory cysteine residues in the human proteome, and chemical biology approaches to develop covalent small-molecule modulators for cysteine-mediated protein activities.
