Greg Craven
Assistant Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
Greg leads the Craven Lab as part of Yale’s Institute for Biomolecular Design and Discovery, exploring the chemistry of cancer. His research blends synthetic chemistry, chemoproteomics, and structural biology to develop new tools and therapeutics. Originally from the UK, Greg studied chemistry at the University of Oxford, earned his PhD at Imperial College London, and completed postdoctoral training at UCSF. He’s always looking to work with creative scientists. Outside of work, Greg enjoys exploring the outdoors and watching Puffin Rock with his daughter.
