About Victoria Rasmussen

"Victoria Rasmussen is a graduate fellow in Dr. Thomas Sakmar’s laboratory at Rockefeller University, where she studies the signaling and degradation of G protein-coupled receptors. She completed her undergraduate education at Providence College, receiving a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Psychology. During her time at Providence College, she received the Walsh Grant Fellowship to develop novel methods of synthesizing 2-imidazoline scaffolds to be used as proteasome modulators in the laboratory of Travis Bethel. Victoria started her Ph.D. at the Tri-Institutional Ph.D. program in Chemical Biology, where she joined the lab of Thomas Sakmar at Rockefeller University. She is currently working to understand the signaling and degradation of GPCRs in disease states to help test the feasibility of using protein-targeted degradation as a therapeutic strategy. "
