Eranthie Weerapana is a 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 the glycosyltransferases 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 the reactive cysteines in complex proteomes. Her interdisciplinary research program focuses on applying chemoproteomic approaches to understand and modulate cysteine-mediated protein activities.
